 Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy?  This painting hangs in a good friend's apartment. He's been witness to many many good, bad, and crazy times. We call him Pierre Jean Luc although we really wish we could find out who the guy is, if he was real.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? Looks crazy familiar but i can't find it in my brainmemory. He seems to have Rubens' justache though. Maybe something flemish/dutch or by someone copying something flemish/dutch.
What is he packing there? A telescope? or is it more like a cane?

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? I'm pretty sure that's a cane, but not positive.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? It's not Rubens or Vermeer, from looking through their complete catalogs. Nor is it of Rubens; there's a number of portraits of him. (He was a diplomat in addition to being a painter.)
It's in that Old Dutch Master sort of style and the clothing is right for the time period. Who it's of or who it's by, still not sure from a brief investigation.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? Not Rembrandt either. But the telescope question reminded me of Tycho Brahe, who had a prodigious mustache and a prosthetic nose. And:

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? I would totally love to walk an Elk around my neighborhood here on Long Island. They are such uptight suburbanites.
Elks by the way are fucking massive. We used to see them a lot when I lived in Colorado. Just fucking huge.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? That would be excellent. Also, the elk in question is a Scandanavian elk. For whatever reason, their elk are our moose. So: even largerer than North American elk.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? Thanks for the responses all. I posted this on Reddit too, but I'm very new there and just posed it on AskReddit. I'm sure I could get better responses if I put it in the right sub forum, but oh well. Forever Pierre Jean Luc will be lost to history, always following us around the room with those gazing eyes.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? I would name my Elk "Moose", just because. Imagine the glare he would give me each time I called him.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? That would confuse the hell out of people, too, if your elk is a North American elk.

Re: Long shot, but... anyone know anything about this guy? My Elk would be the most superb Elk evar. Majestic even.
