About the piece
Painted in 1626 by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, this refined portrait captures a gentleman—possibly the statesman Edward Hyde—set within a classic feigned oval. The subject is rendered with soft lighting and meticulous attention to the textures of his dark doublet and elaborate white ruff, a hallmark of early Stuart fashion.
