About the piece
Painted in 1611, this masterful portrait by Jan van Ravesteyn captures the stoic dignity of a Dutch officer. The subject is rendered with exquisite detail, from the metallic sheen of his dark armor and delicate lace collar to the bold orange sash and the vibrant green plumes of the helmet resting beside him.
