About the piece

Painted in 1646, this oil on panel portrait by Bartholomeus van der Helst depicts Samuel van Lansbergen, a Remonstrant minister in Rotterdam. The work is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture, showcasing masterful handling of light and texture, particularly in the crisp folds of the traditional ruff collar.
