About the piece
This striking 1615 portrait by Frans Pourbus the Younger captures a gentleman in a shimmering silver-grey doublet and a magnificent, intricate lace ruff. Set against a bold, textured red background, the work showcases the artist's masterful ability to render fine details and fabrics, characteristic of the late Renaissance and early Baroque court portraiture.
