Description: | Once thought to be a portrait of General George Monck, 1st Duke of Albermarle by Robert Walker, this portrait would appear instead to be of an unknown Dutch officer, painted in The Hague in the first half of the seventeenth century. The portrait is close in style to the painter Gerrit van Honthorst, a northern follower of Caravaggio who portrayed various members of the Orange, Bohemian and Stuart courts. The sitter is depicted within a painted oval, wearing a fashionable lace-edged collar over his suit of armour. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch (The Hague) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Walker, Robert (English portraitist, ca. 1600-ca. 1659) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8569... | Go to resource |
