About the piece
Painted in 1638 by Anthonie Palamedesz., this portrait depicts Balthasar II Moretus with the quiet dignity characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject is framed by a trompe-l'oeil painted oval, highlighting the delicate textures of his dark doublet and broad, greyish collar against the shadowy background.
