About the piece
Attributed to the studio of Jan van Ravesteyn and dated 1612, this Dutch Golden Age portrait captures an officer in full military splendor. The sitter is depicted in meticulously rendered black armor, offset by a delicate white lace collar and a bold orange sash, standing beside a helmet adorned with magnificent orange and white feathers.
