About the piece
This 1640 oil painting exemplifies the masterful chiaroscuro and psychological depth characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject is depicted with a striking, steady presence, his face illuminated against a dark background to highlight the intricate textures of his black doublet and starched white collar.
