About the piece
Painted in 1632 by Thomas de Keyser, this monumental group portrait depicts Captain Allaert Cloeck and his lieutenant Lucas Jacobsz Rotgans leading the guardsmen of Amsterdam's IIIrd District. The work is a masterclass in Baroque composition, capturing the unique character of each sitter through exquisite detail in their lace collars, silk sashes, and polished armor against a deep, atmospheric background.
