About the piece
This mid-17th-century oil painting by David van der Plas depicts Cornelis Tromp, a prominent Dutch admiral. The work emphasizes the sitter's status through the masterful rendering of polished armor and an intricate lace cravat, set against a dark, moody background that exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age style.
