About the piece
Attributed to the workshops of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, this 1630 portrait captures the dignified presence of its subject, likely Peter van Hecke. The composition is a masterclass in Baroque lighting, contrasting the deep textures of the man's black doublet and crisp white ruff against a luxurious, draped red curtain.
