About the piece
Painted by Albrecht De Vriendt in 1889, this work depicts Robrecht van den Borse in the dress of the late 15th century. The subject is rendered with striking realism, his heavy red robes and focused expression contrasting elegantly against the richly textured, gilded background that evokes early Northern Renaissance panel paintings.
