About the piece
Painted in 1628 by Paulus Moreelse, this striking portrait captures Lucas van Voorst in the height of Dutch fashion. The work is characterized by the masterful contrast between the sitter's dark velvet doublet and the luminous, intricate lace of his ruff and cuffs, all set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the sitter's presence.
