About the piece
This 1742 oil painting depicts Christiaan Paulus van Beresteyn in a formal half-length pose. Clad in a brilliant crimson coat over a richly embroidered gold waistcoat and wearing a traditional powdered wig, the subject is presented with the quiet dignity characteristic of Dutch Enlightenment-era portraiture.
