About the piece
Painted in 1612 by Jan van Ravesteyn, this formal portrait showcases the refined technique of the Dutch Golden Age. The officer is depicted in polished black armor with an intricate lace collar and a striking orange sash, while his plumed helmet rests beside him. The composition is a sophisticated study in textures, from the reflective surfaces of the steel to the soft, voluminous feathers of the helmet's crest.
