Bartholomeus van der Helst's oil painting "Egbert Meeuwsz Cortenaer (1605-65), Vice Admiral, Admiralty of the Maas, Rotterdam," portrays a Dutch naval commander. The painting, created around 1660, is a classic example of the Dutch Golden Age portrait genre. The subject, Cortenaer, is dressed in a richly embroidered uniform with a sash, conveying his position of authority and power. The painting is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the significance of both the subject and the artist within Dutch art history.
