Portrait of Pieter Dircksz Hasselaer (1554-1616) after 1610

This portrait of Pieter Dircksz Hasselaer, painted by Cornelis van der Voort after 1610, is a fine example of Dutch portraiture from the early 17th century. The painting depicts Hasselaer in a three-quarter view, wearing a large, starched ruff and a dark, somber garment. The artist's skill is evident in the meticulous detail of Hasselaer's face and beard, conveying a sense of realism and gravitas. This portrait, like many others from this period, serves as a reminder of the growing importance of individual identity and status within Dutch society.
