About the piece
Painted in 1618 by Ferdinand Elle, this masterful portrait captures a man of status clad in dark, gold-studded armor. The delicate texture of the lace collar contrasts with the metallic sheen of the breastplate, all set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the sitter's dignified expression.
