About the piece
Painted in 1676 by Nicolaes Maes, a notable pupil of Rembrandt, this work captures the refined elegance of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject emerges from deep shadows, illuminated by a soft light that highlights the intricate textures of his wig and starched white collar, exemplifying the mastery of portraiture from this era.
