About the piece
Created in 1629 by Wybrand de Geest, this self-portrait is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The artist presents himself with a dignified expression, centered by a meticulously rendered white ruff collar that provides a brilliant focal point against the deep, atmospheric background of the wood panel support.
