About the piece
Commissioned in 1674, this masterful work by Caesar van Everdingen depicts Wollebrand Geleynsz de Jongh, a commander for the Dutch East India Company. The painting showcases Van Everdingen's skill in rendering luxurious textiles, from the subject's shimmering brocade doublet to the intricate weave of the oriental table carpet. The inclusion of a red parasol and the harbor view in the background alludes to his overseas successes and status.
