About the piece
Painted in 1642 by Bartholomeus van der Helst, this masterful portrait depicts Andries Bicker, a powerful figure in the Dutch Golden Age. The work highlights the artist's skill in rendering textures, from the crisp pleats of the white ruff collar to the subtle sheen of the dark velvet attire and the detailed character of the sitter's expression.
