About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Balthasar van Meurs, this portrait captures Joannes Woverius with a dignified and contemplative gaze. The artist skillfully uses chiaroscuro to highlight the subject's face against a deep, atmospheric background, emphasizing the intricate details of his white collar and fur-lined garment.
