About the piece
This sophisticated portrait by Dutch master Nicolaes Maes, dated circa 1680, captures a gentleman of stature. Dressed in a rich, dark brocade robe and a delicate lace cravat, the sitter's refined appearance is framed by a voluminous wig and a composed, direct gaze characteristic of late 17th-century European portraiture.
