Portret van een officier 1680s - 1690s

This miniature portrait, created by the Monogrammist PP in the late 17th century, depicts an officer in armor. The small scale and detailed rendering are characteristic of miniature painting, a popular genre in the 17th century. The officer’s serious expression and the prominence of his armor suggest his high status and importance. This piece offers a glimpse into the world of portraiture during the Dutch Golden Age, a time of significant artistic innovation and patronage.
