About the piece
Dating to approximately 1611 and attributed to Jan van Ravesteyn, this Dutch Golden Age portrait captures the dignity of a high-ranking officer, believed to be Anthonis van Utenhoven. The artist demonstrates masterful technique in the play of light across the metallic armor and the rich, draped texture of the ceremonial orange sash.
