Portrait of Pieter Salina is a 1620 unspecified by Unknown, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Rijksmuseum.
A man in black stands beside a table, holding a thick book with both hands. His face is calm, almost stern. A small coat of arms floats in the top corner. This portrait was probably copied from an older painting—maybe from around 1510. The original artist is lost to time, but the copyist kept the details sharp: the folds in his collar, the way light catches the book’s edges. It’s part of a whole set of portraits, all lined up in the same style. To see more faces like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
