Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt's "Portrait of Sir Horace Vere" depicts the English military leader, Sir Horace Vere, in a close-up view. Painted around 1615-1633, the work is a fine example of Dutch portraiture from the Golden Age. Vere is rendered with realism, his gaze directed at the viewer, while his attire and the inscription "CRONEL. VEER." identify his military status and name. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is known for its detail and masterful rendering of the sitter's features and clothing.
