About the piece
This 1715 portrait by Hieronymus van der Mij exemplifies the refined elegance of early 18th-century European portraiture. The sitter, adorned in a voluminous powdered wig and a luxurious red mantle over gold-patterned silk, is rendered with luminous clarity and a commanding presence that anchors any formal space.
