About the piece
Painted around 1720 by Arnold Boonen, this portrait depicts Jan van Huysum, one of the most famous still-life painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Boonen masterfully renders the textures of Van Huysum's velvet cloak and intricate powdered wig, illuminated against an atmospheric background to create a dignified presence.
