This portrait of Hieronymus van Beverningk, painted in 1670 by Jan de Baen, captures the sitter in an elegant pose, emphasizing his stature and wealth. Beverningk, dressed in a formal black coat adorned with gold buttons, stands confidently with one hand resting on a document, possibly a legal document. The background suggests an outdoor setting, perhaps a garden, with elements of classical architecture, creating a visual connection to the sitter's social status and refined taste. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch portraiture.
Comments
This seems like a princely portrait. Yet Hieronymus van Beverningk was only an ambassador of the States-General of the Netherlands. He had played a successful role in peace conferences, symbolized by the official documents and seals on the table. The splendidly carved frame underscores the dignity of the sitter, whose motto in the cartouche at bottom translates as: ‘Seek thyself, not outside thyself.’
