About the piece
Attributed to the circle of Philippe de Champaigne, this 1665 portrait depicts Jacobus Govaerts with solemn dignity. The work showcases masterful 17th-century technique, particularly in the luminous rendering of the intricate lace surplice and the varied textures of fur, velvet, and silver against a deep, dark ground.
