About the piece

Painted in 1663 by Ferdinand Bol, a notable pupil of Rembrandt, this portrait exemplifies the grandeur of the Dutch Golden Age. The sitter is depicted in a moment of poise, his shimmering yellow doublet and heavy red cloak rendered with masterful attention to light and texture. The inclusion of a Corinthian column and a classical statue in the background adds a scholarly, elevated tone to the composition.
