About the piece
Painted in 1754 by Dutch artist Isaac Lodewijk la Fargue van Nieuwland, this oil portrait depicts Jan Hendrik van Rijswijk in striking period attire. The subject wears a polished breastplate over a navy coat with vibrant red lapels and a broad gold sash, his pose conveying a sense of formal dignity typical of mid-18th-century European portraiture. The dark, atmospheric background serves to highlight the rich textures of the metallic armor and delicate lace ruffles.
