About the piece
This 1630 self-portrait by Paulus Moreelse captures the artist in his later years, wearing a striking white ruff and dark, textured garments. The work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age style with its focused lighting and intimate, dignified character study, rendered with the masterful brushwork of a seasoned artist.
