About the piece
This mid-17th-century oil portrait depicts a gentleman with a direct and engaging gaze. Attributed to an anonymous master from the Northern Netherlands, the work captures the refined fashion of the era, focusing on the contrast between the heavy dark mantle and the delicate, luminous lace of the cravat.
