About the piece
Painted in 1646 by Jan de Stomme, this dignified portrait depicts Duurt Sirps Elema Tho Allersma at the age of twenty-eight. The subject is rendered with the characteristic soft lighting of the Dutch Golden Age, emphasizing the fine texture of his lace collar and the weight of his dark doublet. A small family crest and inscribed date in the upper right add a layer of historical heritage to this formal composition.
