About the piece
Attributed to Govert Flinck, this 1640 oil study exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age fascination with character and lighting. The subject is depicted in a sharp profile, his features illuminated with a soft glow that highlights the texture of his skin and the rich, painterly details of his golden-brown attire.
