As you can see the frame is superb  in walnut  the man wears a ruff and it looks like a coat of arms may have been removed  he also seems to have a hole in one ear ! all any info most welcome !!!

Can you take a pic of the back please ?? A bit closer than the front shots !! The way the canvas is attached and its appearance can give a clue as to date !!  Or is it done on panel ??

17th century by the look of it, though I can't tell if it's a reproduction or an original.
