About the piece
Created in 1638 by Willem van der Vliet, this striking Dutch portrait depicts a young boy in a blue-grey dress and an oversized feathered hat. The inclusion of a coral rattle and a basket of flowers reflects traditional 17th-century motifs of childhood, rendered with the painterly precision and rich textures characteristic of the era.
