About the piece
Created in 1763 by Pierre Frédéric de la Croix, this formal oil portrait depicts Derk van Eck. The subject is shown in a stately pose, wearing a meticulously rendered white uniform with vibrant red facings and gold buttons, holding a baton that suggests a position of authority. The work exemplifies the refined portraiture of the mid-18th century Dutch school.
