About the piece
Dating to approximately 1670, this portrait by Adriaen van Heusden depicts Michiel ten Hove in the formal style of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject is shown wearing a voluminous wig and a 'japonsche rok' or banyan, a garment favored by the era's intellectual and political elite, while holding a book to signify his scholarly status.
