About the piece

Painted in 1641 by Johannes Cornelisz Verspronck, this formal portrait depicts Pieter Jacobsz Schout, the Burgomaster of Haarlem. The work showcases the artist's skill in capturing the delicate texture of the starched lace ruff and the weathered, character-filled features of the sitter, providing a classic example of Dutch Golden Age realism and lighting.
