About the piece
Painted in 1633, this masterful portrait by Peter Paul Rubens depicts Jacobus Moretus with profound psychological depth. The sitter is shown in a quiet, contemplative moment, his weathered features and soft ruff collar illuminated against a dark, atmospheric background characteristic of the Flemish Baroque style.
