About the piece
Painted by Jan Daemen Cool in 1629, this oil on panel portrait captures the likeness of Pieter Pietersz Heijn. The composition is a masterful example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture, highlighting the sitter's status through the detailed rendering of his layered gold chains and the translucent, pleated texture of his millstone ruff.
