About the piece
This 1679 portrait by Nicolaes Maes captures a gentleman of stature, characterized by his expansive periwig and rich, plum-colored robes. Leaning confidently against a stone plinth, the sitter is presented with the refined, painterly elegance typical of Maes's late career, set against a backdrop of atmospheric drapery and deep shadows.
