About the piece
Attributed to Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt, this 1639 oil on panel portrait captures the dignified presence of Jacob Arentsz. van der Graeff. The work is a masterclass in Dutch realism, highlighting the intricate textures of the sitter's patterned black doublet and the crisp, luminous folds of his large ruff collar against a warm, neutral background.
