About the piece

Painted in 1678 by Dutch master Nicolaes Maes, this portrait captures the dignity and fashion of the late 17th century. The subject is depicted with remarkable luminosity against a moody, shadowed background, characteristic of Maes’s mature style which blended Dutch precision with a more flamboyant, international flair.
