About the piece
Painted around 1610, this portrait depicts Archduke Albert VII of Austria, sovereign of the Habsburg Netherlands. The work showcases the masterful rendering of texture characteristic of Flemish court portraiture, from the delicate translucence of the pleated lace ruff to the polished, light-catching sheen of the damascened armor adorned with the Order of the Golden Fleece.
