Ernestus van Beveren (1660-1722), Lord of West-Ysselmonde and de Lindt, Alderman, Burgomaster and from 1704 on Postmaster of Dordrecht — Aert de Gelder

Aert de Gelder. Painted 1685.

The 25-year-old Ernest de Beveren was the last scion of one of Dordrecht’s most distinguished regent families. He is represented in a fanciful historicizing costume. Emulating Rembrandt, De Gelder painted with broad brushstrokes, used his brush handle to scratch into the paint layer, and introduced similar contrasts of light and dark.
