About the piece
Painted by Abraham de Vries in 1640, this oil-on-panel portrait captures David de Moor with the characteristic dignity of the Dutch Golden Age. The sharp contrast between the sitter's luminous face, the textured white ruff, and the deep, receding background creates a compelling and scholarly presence.
