About the piece
Attributed to the studio of Michiel Jansz. van Miereveld, this circa 1620 portrait depicts Paulus Cornelisz van Beresteyn with remarkable clarity. The work showcases the sobriety and status of the Dutch Golden Age through the intricate detail of the millstone collar and the tactile quality of the sitter's fur-trimmed cloak, characteristic of high-society commissions in Delft.
