About the piece
Painted by Adriaen van der Werff in 1716, this formal portrait depicts Friedrich von Schomberg with the luminous detail characteristic of the late Dutch Golden Age. The sitter is rendered in meticulously painted black armor, his voluminous powdered wig contrasting with the moody twilight sky and distant mountains of the background landscape.
