About the piece
Painted in 1625, this portrait by Dutch Golden Age master Frans Hals depicts Jacob Pietersz Olycan at the age of 29. The work showcases Hals' signature lively brushwork and masterful rendering of light and texture, particularly evident in the intricate details of the white lace ruff and the subtle variations of the dark patterned doublet.
