About the piece
This striking 17th-century portrait depicts Fredrik Kasimir, Duke of Courland, in a posture of military authority. Wearing gleaming dark armor contrasted by an elegant white lace cravat, the sitter holds a baton against a moody, atmospheric backdrop, exemplifying the formal grandeur of Baroque-era European portraiture.
