Dutch master 17th/18th C. or later. Gentleman with pocket watch. Oil on panel. Unsigned. Inscribed lower left «aetatis 1669». Losses. Restored. H 47, W 40,5 cm. The elderly plainly dressed gentleman proudly presents his golden timepiece to us. Small, box-shaped watches that could be worn on the body were regarded as a desirable status symbol by bourgeois and noble collectors of the 17th century. To demonstrate a person's wealth, expensive accessories like these were often shown in portraits. Niederländischer Meister 17./18. Jh. oder später. Herr mit Taschenuhr. Öl auf Holz. Unsign. U.l. bez. «aetatis 1669». Fehlstellen. Altrest. H. 47, B. 40,5 cm. Unverkennbar stolz hält uns der ansonsten schlicht gekleidete ältere Herr seinen goldenen Zeitmesser entgegen. Kleine, dosenförmige, am Körper tragbare Uhren galten unter bürgerlichen und adligen Sammlern des 17. Jahrhunderts als erstrebenswertes Statussymbol. Um den Wohlstand einer Person zu demonstrieren, wurden kostspielige Accessoires wie diese oft in Porträts gezeigt.
