Review

The lead is very short. It needs to be expanded, at least 2-3 paras.
Add an infobox. {{Infobox person}}
The images are way too big. And there a lot of them. Resize them to 220px (default) and reduce them.
Image captions aren't clear. Avoid using allcaps.
Multiple unsourced sections and sentences. Each of them needs to be properly sourced.
Avoid using external links like wikilinks.

Pass/Fail: As per the first criteria of good article immediate failures, an article can, but by no means must, be failed without further review (known as a quick fail) if, prior to the review: It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria. The biggest issue here is the unsourced parts. Sections like Birth and origin, Portrait of a Noble Young Lady and other portraits, Religious paintings, Influence and fame etc. are unsourced.

A lot of work required to make it GA compliant. Refer to the related good articles and featured articles. Also, I would suggest submitting the article for a copyedit at GOCE. When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— ❯❯❯ S A H A 20:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not my review, but a note in passing: is there no portrait of the subject? Not even a self portrait or a sketch/bust? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 20:41, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CaptainEek, The man with the turban behind Melchizedek is said to be the self-portrait of Pieter Pourbus in this triptych Vexations (talk) 19:21, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vexations, CaptainEek, Thanks to Vexations. My 2 cents just to add that this is according to Paul Huvenne; and that the detail of this figure is on page 8 of the catalogue to the exhibition of Gouda, and presented as such. --Emigré55 (talk) 15:22, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
