About the piece
This masterfully executed oil painting by Paulus Moreelse captures the dignity of a 17th-century gentleman. The composition is defined by the incredible detail of the pleated lace ruff, which creates a luminous contrast against the dark background and the warm, lifelike tones of the sitter's face.
