Head of a Donor ca. 1460 Attributed to Albert van Ouwater Netherlandish Similar to the Donor Presented by a Saint (), this portrait was cut from a larger religious work. The man would have been kneeling in prayer, perhaps before a devotional scene or holy figures. His garments, a fur-trimmed cassock and pleated surplice, indicate that he is a priest. The wrinkles and folds of flesh, more pronounced than those in works by Dieric Bouts and his circle, are characteristic of the heads in Aelbert van Ouwater’s securely documented Head of a Donor 437236
