About this work

This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, holding a wax seal in one hand and resting the other on a book. His face is turned toward us, and a family crest floats in the top corner. It’s part of a set of portraits—eleven others just like it, all in the same museum. The original was painted in 1605, but this version might be a copy made later. The details feel careful, almost like a record, not just a picture. To see the rest of the set, look up the Rijksmuseum.
