Portrait of a Man, possibly Reijnier Pauw (1591-1676) — Paulus Moreelse

Paulus Moreelse. Painted 1625.

This is an archetypal image of an affluent Dutch citizen at the beginning of the 17th century: confident – even a touch pompous – and fashionably dressed, but without undue excess. Although the sitter’s identity is unknown, he was probably a member of the fabulously wealthy Pauw family of Amsterdam merchants. The picture is still in its original black painted and parcel-gilt oak frame.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Main building, Power struggle in the young Republic, 17th Century.
