1608 1640 Adrian Boulonois Cavalier Curly Dashing Moustache
EDITORS COMMENTS
Adrian Brauwer, also known as Adriaan Brouwer or Boulonois, was a Dutch painter active during the Golden Age of Dutch art. Born around 1608, Brauwer is best known for his genre paintings depicting the everyday life of common people, particularly tavern scenes. His works are characterized by their lively and humorous portrayal of human behavior and interaction. In this image by Mary Evans Picture Library, Brauwer is shown in a three-quarter length portrait, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. His curly hair is styled in a cavalier manner, and his long, curled moustache frames his dashing face. The artist wears a black doublet with a lace collar, a white shirt with a ruff, and a red sash around his waist. His left hand rests on a wooden cane, while his right hand holds a quill pen and inkwell, signifying his profession as a painter. Brauwer's expressive eyes and furrowed brow convey a sense of intensity and focus, reflecting his dedication to his craft. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain wall and a window revealing a verdant landscape outside. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and texture to the image. Despite his success as a painter, Brauwer's life was not without its challenges. He faced financial difficulties and was known to have been in debtors' prison at one point. However, his talent and determination allowed him to continue creating art that continues to captivate audiences today. Brauwer died in 1640, leaving behind a legacy of works that provide a unique window into the lives of ordinary people during the Dutch Golden Age.
