Description: | This is a three-quarter length portrait of a man dressed in early 17th century costume comprising black clothes with white lace collar, or ruff, and cuffs. The background is an interior wall with a green curtain behind him on the left. His right hand rests on the pommel of a sword, the left hand rests on a table. In the upper right corner of the painting is a crest, consisting of a shield with argent field and three sable chevrons, topped by a helmet with similar mantle. The helmet is steel with gold bars and is inclined to profile, which in English armorial tradition indicates noble rank. | Subjects: | interior; portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch School Æ Previously attributed to Dahl, Michael, I (Swedish painter, born 1656 or 1659, died 1743, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9051... | Go to resource |
