Protestant Minister by Willem Key 1563

Today in the NSW Art Gallery here in Sydney we saw this portrait by wealthy Antwerp based painter Willem Key (c 1515-1568). Painted 1563, it is a portrait of an unknown Protestant Minister of Religion. Done in oil on oak board, it has no signature. The text, in Dutch, that he holds is 1 Timothy 6:7-9 We brought nothing into the world, nor shall we carry anything out; so if we have food and clothing at our disposal, let us be content all our days. For those who wish to become rich as they please fall into temptations and evil desires; but you, godly people, shun this snare - pursue righteousness and stand firm in the faith, so that you may enter into the joy of the Lord.
The artist has added This was done in the year '63; at that time I was forty-eight years old (the sitter or the artist?)
