About the piece
Attributed to the studio of Jan van Ravesteyn around 1612, this masterful portrait depicts Daniël de Hertaing with the dignified presence characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition is a study in texture and contrast, balancing the dark, reflective surfaces of the military armor with the intricate details of a lace ruff and the exuberant colors of a feathered helmet.
