About the piece
This 1661 portrait by Johannes Mytens captures Johan van Beaumont, a colonel in the Holland guards, with a dignified and steady presence. The artist masterfully renders the play of light on the dark metal armor and the delicate textures of the white lace, set against a romanticized coastal view of Den Briel at dusk.
