About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Theodor van Loonen, this portrait captures Adriaan Schimmelpennick van der Oye in striking detail. The subject is depicted with long, flowing curls and a lace-tasseled collar, contrasting with the hard, reflective surface of his battle-worn armor, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age style.
