About the piece
Painted in 1636 by Thomas de Keyser, this masterful portrait depicts a man of status, likely Hans van Hogendorp. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering the contrasting textures of the crisp white millstone ruff, the delicate lace cuffs, and the dark, patterned doublet, all set against a muted atmospheric background featuring a family crest.
