About the piece
This 1624 portrait by Jan van Ravesteyn captures an officer in meticulous detail, from the delicate lace of his collar to the sheen of his breastplate. Accompanied by his plumed helmet and arquebus, the subject exudes a sense of quiet authority and formal dignity characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
