About the piece
Dating to circa 1640, this oil painting by an unknown Flemish master exemplifies the dignified portraiture of the period. The sitter is depicted with a quiet, steady gaze, his features framed by long, wavy hair and a crisp lace-trimmed collar that pops against a moody backdrop of deep red drapery and shadow.
