About the piece
This 1626 oil portrait by Thomas de Keyser is a masterclass in Dutch Golden Age realism. The sitter is depicted with a penetrating gaze, framed by an elaborate millstone ruff that provides a bright contrast to the deep, textured patterns of his black silk doublet. De Keyser's meticulous attention to textile and skin tones reflects the high-society portraiture of early 17th-century Amsterdam.
