About the piece
Painted by Jan de Baen in 1669, this formal portrait depicts Cornelis de Witt in full regalia. The composition showcases de Baen's mastery of texture, from the delicate lace of the jabot to the heavy, shimmering gold of the sash, all set against a rich crimson drapery and a distant naval fleet.
