About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert, this portrait of the humanist scholar Erycius Puteanus exemplifies the sophisticated lighting and character study of the Flemish Baroque. The subject is depicted with a thoughtful, steady gaze, his dark attire and detailed gold medallion set against a richly textured, atmospheric background that brings a sense of history and depth to the work.
