Summary/Abstract: Only a few of the Renaissance-pictures from the Sibiu Brukenthal Gallery (dominated by the art of the 17th and 18th century) have been studied in a particular way and this happened even less with unsigned paintings or with paintings not yet ascribed by internationally recognized specialists in the field. The present study tackles the problem of the difficulties regarding the ascription of a painting from the German and Austrian painting collection of the Baron von Brukenthal. The painting Portrait of a Man with Beard (Inv. Nr. 20), acquired by the Baron as “a work of an anonymous painter of the German School”, has thus been given, after more than 100 years, a definite paternity.
