About the piece

Painted in 1637 by the Flemish master Anthony van Dyck, this formal portrait captures Thomas Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Haddington. The subject is depicted with striking presence, wearing a suit of armor partially covered by an ermine-trimmed crimson cloak, set against a dramatic composition of a dark interior and a stormy sky.
