About the piece
Painted around 1660 by Pieter Nason, this striking portrait depicts a man in a confident pose, his dark attire contrasted sharply by dramatic, billowy white sleeves. The soft light illuminates his features against a moody, indistinct background, exemplifying the refined elegance of Dutch portraiture from the period.
