About the piece
Painted around 1635, this masterful portrait by Peter Paul Rubens depicts Jan Brant, the artist's father-in-law. The subject is shown in a moment of scholarly repose, clutching a book against a backdrop of classic literature, his face and hands rendered with the luminous warmth and technical precision characteristic of Rubens' mature style.
