About the piece

Painted in 1665 by Nicolaes Maes, this portrait of Jacob Trip exemplifies the sophisticated realism and chiaroscuro of the Dutch Golden Age. Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt, masterfully renders the textures of the subject's fur-trimmed cloak and soft white beard, set against a dramatic backdrop of deep shadows and vibrant crimson drapery that lends the piece a sense of quiet authority.
