About the piece

Painted by Frans van der Mijn in 1742, this full-length portrait depicts Jan Pranger, Director-General of the Dutch West India Company, in a luxurious red velvet coat adorned with gold embroidery. The composition balances the bold central figure with detailed interior elements, including a servant in the background and a view of a coastal fort through the window.
