This portrait, titled "Portrait of an Unknown Gentleman" transports us back to the year 1663. Painted by the talented German artist Ottmar Elliger the Elder, this oil on canvas masterpiece is a true testament to his skill and attention to detail. The unknown gentleman in the painting exudes an air of mystery and sophistication. His long hair cascades down his shoulders, framing his face adorned with a well-groomed mustache.
