About the piece

This formal oil portrait depicts Prince Johan, Duke of Östergötland, in the high fashion of the early 17th century. The subject is rendered with remarkable detail, from the translucent lace of his ruff to the shimmering gold threads of his doublet. A vibrant blue sash provides a focal point of color, while the period inscription in the upper right adds a layer of historical authenticity to this dignified Royal work.
