About the piece
This masterfully executed portrait by Nicolaes Maes captures Cornelis ten Hove in a moment of poised elegance. Dating to approximately 1680, the work showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures, from the luminous sheen of the blue silk cloak to the intricate lace of the cravat, set against a dramatic, dark background with a sunset landscape.
