About the piece
Painted in 1616 by the workshop of Jan van Ravesteyn, this Dutch Golden Age portrait showcases an officer with a commanding presence. The artist expertly renders the contrasting textures of the polished metal armor, the delicate lace ruff, and the soft plumage of the helmet beside him.
