About the piece
Painted in 1634, this portrait by Frans Hals showcases the artist's legendary 'rough style' and ability to capture character. Captain Michiel de Wael is depicted in the height of Dutch fashion, with the crisp, pleated ruff and lustrous black silk doublet providing a masterful study in texture and light.
