About the piece
This 1650 oil painting depicts Jacob de Witt, a prominent figure of the Dutch Golden Age. The artist captures the sitter with great dignity, focusing on the character in his face and the contrasting textures of his white collar and the deep red velvet table covering against an atmospheric, dark background.
