Portret van Jacob van Dijck 1619

Balthazar Gerbier d'Ouvilly's 1619 "Portret van Jacob van Dijck" is a finely detailed portrait of the prominent Flemish art collector Jacob van Dijck, depicted in an oval frame ornamented with intricate scrollwork and a coat of arms. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Gerbier's talent for capturing the sitter's likeness and social standing through subtle details like Van Dijck's rich clothing and the lavish frame. This artwork exemplifies the stylistic trends of 17th-century Dutch portraiture.
