About the piece

This masterful 1665 oil portrait by Pieter Nason depicts a young boy in an elaborate, classically-inspired hunting costume. Adorned with a plumed hat and an intricate golden breastplate, the youth stands confidently against a moody landscape. Accompanied by his hunting dogs, the work captures the aristocratic charm and refined technique of the Dutch Golden Age.
