Tired of art snobs and their stuffy old museums? So was Steve Melcher, so he created That Is Priceless -- dedicated to taking art’s greatest masterpieces down a peg with irreverent new titles. You don’t have to be an art lover to appreciate Steve’s sticking it to the man on a regular basis – especially when that man is someone like Caravaggio, who when you look a little closer, was really kind of a jerk.

Enlarged image can be found here (which speculates who this is in the Notes section), or at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.
A Polish Nobleman is shown, with a small different coloration image, by its current-location page, which says, like several of his paintings during this period, has no factual basis.
A different coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here, whose description just repeats a line from the museum’s description.
It speculates that the sitter was Slavic, but page 115 of Painting in the Dutch Golden Age — A Profile of the Seventeenth Century, a 165 page document found in the museum’s Classroom, says it has the artist‘s features.
Another different coloration enlarged image can be found here, but there are many different coloration or detail images available online.
Andrzej Rej is mentioned in the Notes section referenced above. His Google translated Polish Wikipedia page says he commissioned the painting. The artist’s Wikipedia page, list of paintings, and collection (much more available in the Subcategories at each level).
Second, of the 5 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

Unfortunately, the construction-worker guy proved to be a lot cheaper to buy outfits for, so Stan was soon kicked to the curb.

At the risk of showing my age, when I saw the picture I thought, “Harcourt Fenton Mudd,” all dressed up for his next con. Now tell me, who knows the reference?
