About the piece

Painted in 1637, this exquisite portrait by the Flemish master Sir Anthony van Dyck captures Charles Cavendish, a young officer in the Royalist army. The work exemplifies the Baroque era's courtly elegance, characterized by the artist's luminous rendering of skin tones and his sophisticated handling of complex textures, most notably the delicate needlepoint of the broad lace collar.
