About the piece
Painted in 1627 by Nicolaes van Borculo, this oil-on-copper portrait depicts Henricus van Zijl at the age of eighty-two. The work is a masterclass in texture, contrasting the crisp, geometric folds of the millstone ruff against the soft, patterned depth of a leopard-fur mantle, all set against a somber, atmospheric background typical of the period.
