From National Gallery, London:
This picture of an elderly man belongs to a category of picture known in Dutch as a 'tronie'. 'Tronies' are pictures of men or women, most often bust- or half-length, who cannot be, and are not supposed to be, identified. They were not portraits but rather painted as studies of facial expressions or as studies in the rendering of costume and fabrics. This type of picture was very popular and widely collected.
