About the piece
This commanding three-quarter length portrait depicts Prince Rupert of the Rhine in military attire, wearing a polished breastplate and a voluminous orange cloak. Painted around 1668, the work masterfully captures the interplay of light on diverse surfaces, from the sheen of silk to the glow of skin against a somber, atmospheric background.
