About the piece
Painted in 1689 by Adriaen van der Werff, this portrait exemplifies the refined Dutch style of the late 17th century. The sitter is depicted with aristocratic poise, his deep blue silk robe and intricate lace cravat rendered with exceptional technical skill that captures the play of light on rich fabric against a dark, moody background.
