About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Gerard van der Kuijl, this oil portrait depicts Guilliaam van Bleyswijk in formal Dutch attire. The artist masterfully captures the textures of the period, specifically the delicate craftsmanship of the lace collar and the soft highlights on the subject's auburn hair, set against a muted, atmospheric background.
