About this work

A man in a black coat looks straight at you, gloves in one hand. His face is calm, but the light catches the wrinkles around his eyes. This painting might be a copy of an earlier portrait from 1604. The original artist is unknown, but the copyist added a family crest in the corner—tiny proof of who this man was. It’s one of many similar portraits in the same museum, all showing people from the same time. To see more faces like this, look up the Rijksmuseum.
