About the piece
Painted around 1630 by Wybrand de Geest, this striking portrait captures a Dutch officer in meticulous detail. The work showcases the artist's ability to render diverse textures, from the reflective surface of the armor to the delicate complexity of the starched lace collar and the luminous folds of the golden sash.
