About the piece
Painted in 1671 by Caesar van Everdingen, this portrait depicts Willem Jacobsz Baert, who served as Mayor of both Alkmaar and Amsterdam. The work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age style, focusing on the sitter's dignified presence, rendered with smooth brushwork and a sophisticated play of light across the dark fabric and crisp white collar.
