Portrait of Charles the Bold c. 1460 Oil on oak panel, 49 x 32 cm Staatliche Museen, Berlin

This painting comes from the workshop of Rogier van der Weyden.

Charles the Bold wears the emblem of the Order of the Golden Fleece, of which he became a member at birth. The portrait closely resembles a work by Rogier mentioned in 1516 and 1523/24 in the inventories of Marguerite of Austria (1480-1530), granddaughter of Charles VI,except that in this version the duke is holding in his left hand a manuscript scroll instead of the hilt of a sword. Rogier's own painting could have been the model for this very good workshop copy.
