About the piece
Attributed to Balthasar van Meurs and dated around 1650, this portrait depicts Jean-Jacques Chifflet with a serious and dignified expression. The work is a fine example of mid-17th century European portraiture, utilizing a dark, muted background to draw focus to the subject's features and the sharp contrast of his white linen collar.
