About the piece
Painted in 1632 by Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy, this portrait exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of light and texture. The sitter's dignified expression is framed by an intricate lace ruff, contrasting beautifully against the deep tones of his patterned doublet. This masterful study of seventeenth-century fashion and character brings a sophisticated heritage presence to any traditional setting.
