About the piece

Attributed to Govert Flinck, a prominent pupil of Rembrandt, this 1645 portrait captures the character and dignity of its subject through expressive brushwork. The rich textures of the velvet cap, the soft fur collar, and the meticulously painted white beard showcase the technical brilliance of the Dutch Golden Age.
