EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Pieter Dircksz Hasselaer (1554-1616), a prominent figure in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during the 17th century. The exact creator of this artwork is unknown, but it is believed to be a copy after Cornelis van der Voort's original painting, created around 1610. Hasselaer is depicted in a formal attire typical of the Dutch elite during this period. He wears a high-collared, ruffed shirt, known as a neck ruff, which was a symbol of wealth and status. The richly colored and intricately patterned doublet and breeches add to his grandeur. The portrait also showcases Hasselaer's civic guard uniform, which includes a red sash and a hat adorned with a white feather. As a magistrate and a successful shipowner in the thriving Dutch shipping industry, Hasselaer would have been an influential member of his community. His involvement with the VOC, one of the most powerful trading companies in Europe, further solidified his position. This portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Low Countries during the 17th century. The attention to detail in the clothing and accessories, as well as the realistic depiction of the subject's face and expression, make this artwork a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition. The oil on panel painting is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, industry, and history of the time.
