About the piece

Painted around 1650 by Johannes Mytens, this Dutch Golden Age portrait depicts a young military officer with a composed expression. Clad in meticulously rendered steel armor and a crisp white cravat, his status is further signaled by a bold orange sash, set against an atmospheric, dark landscape background.
