    /// Here a corpulent bearded man stands.

    As we watch, his huge belly expands.

    Frans Hals certainly loves

    to show men holding gloves.

    Was he proud he knew how to paint hands?

    “I picked this up because I thought that young lady was flirting with me when she dropped her glove. But she was only discarding it after using it to pick up what her dog had deposited on the walking path.”

    Baldric’s large gut required him to use extra-long gloves if he wished to challenge someone to a duel.

    Did I lose my left sleeve in the washer again? How does this keep happening?

    In the Netherlands golden age/

    overeating was “all the rage”:/

    Dirk’s already not sprightly/

    Though he’s not quite unsightly/

    Since he’s still at an early stage..

    Did I mention 30 Durk has a page?

    He’s a lad a few years under age/

    Whom Dirk simply loves/

    To probe with his gloves/

    (He keeps the poor kid in a cage.)

    I’m not hiding anything. Why would I be hiding anything under this tunic? No need to be rude. I’m going to have a nap, now. I need to sleep off second breakfast.

    Reposting what I did roughly 6 hours ago (in no way does it violate anything in the Comments Policy pointed to above the beginning of the comments, yet was removed):

    Portrait of a Man

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:People with gloves in art" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Brave, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string 1630, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this painting, including the museum’s Description

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3356 (July 16, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment and reply pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 6 works by him have been used here, the September 22, 2023, strip being the prior.
