About this work

This painting shows a man wearing a fancy robe. He's relaxed and casual. The robe is special - it's made of Chinese silk and embroidered with gold thread. This painting is interesting because the man is wearing a robe that was likely made in Amsterdam. It's not something you'd wear outside. The man in the painting is Johannes Hudde, a mathematician and governor. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to learn more.
