Portrait of a Banker

The artwork Portrait of a Banker is a painting, created in 1522. It is currently held by the Saint Louis Art Museum. The artwork depicts a man, presumably a banker, seated at a table. He is dressed in fine clothing, with a black doublet over a pink undershirt. He wears a black hat and has a contemplative expression on his face. The man's left hand rests on a small stack of coins, while his right hand holds a quill pen poised above a piece of paper. The paper bears an inscription that reads "LAN. 1522. AN. 35." This inscription likely indicates the date the portrait was painted and the banker's age at the time.
