About the piece
Painted in 1650 by Dutch master Bartholomeus van der Helst, this portrait captures a young man in an exceptionally detailed military costume. The work is celebrated for its masterful rendering of textures, from the intricate gold lace and embroidery to the soft tassels of his collar and the subtle sheen of his hair, all set against a deep, atmospheric chiaroscuro background.
