About the piece
Dated to 1674, this masterful portrait by Zacharias Blyhooft depicts François Leidecker, a high-ranking official from Zeeland. The composition highlights the opulent textures of the sitter's gold-embroidered garment and silk sash, set against the disciplined symmetry of a formal European garden, epitomizing the prestige of the Dutch Golden Age.
