Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, wearing an orange sash, oil on panel, 67x56,5 cm, According to the captions of two prints made from this portrait in the 19th century, the sitter is said to represent Justinus of Nassau (1559-1631). This identification dates from the 19th century and goes back to E.B. Swalue who had written a work on Justinus van Nassau (1858). It is not entirely clear what he based that identification on, but he claimed the two prints mentioned were made as portraits of Justinus of Nassau. Christiaan Kramm, who discovered the present portrait, rightly disputed this identification, arguing that the portrait of Justinus van Nassau from the Honselaarsdijk Gallery (IB 34113) shows a completely different person.
