This work clearly follows the adjacent painting. But is it actually a portrait of Beverland? The sitter’s face is clearly different. And what happened to the pipe? The Beverland look-alike is holding a tastevin (winetasting cup) and a wine pipette, the attributes of a wine connoisseur. Is this man trying to impress the lovely lady with his knowledge of wine?
