About the piece
This formal portrait, created after Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt, depicts the influential Dutch theologian Johannes Uyttenboogaert. The work is a classic example of 17th-century European portraiture, utilizing a dark, atmospheric background to emphasize the luminous skin tones and the intricate, pleated texture of the starched ruff.
