About the piece
This 1636 oil on panel by Harmen Willems Wieringa captures a young boy in formal 17th-century Dutch attire. Standing with poised dignity, he is depicted with a hand on his hip while holding a wide-brimmed hat, positioned against a muted interior background next to a table draped in floral tapestry and scholarly books.
