About the piece

Painted around 1660 by Jacob van Reesbroeck, this portrait depicts Balthasar III Moretus in formal attire. The work highlights the artist's skill in rendering complex textures, from the delicate lace of the collar to the soft ruffles of the pink sash, set against a moody, atmospheric background.
