About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Jan de Baen, this formal portrait captures the poise and authority of Hieronymus van Beverningk, a key Dutch diplomat. The work is characterized by the masterful rendering of the sitter's elaborate lace cravat and velvet coat, set against a backdrop of deep red drapery and an elegant estate garden.
