About the piece
This 1649 portrait by Wallerant Vaillant depicts Paul Godin with a refined and contemplative expression. Rendered in a crisp monochrome, the work highlights the intricate textures of his patterned doublet and the delicate tassels of his collar, characteristic of Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
