17th Century Portrait Painting Old Master Circle of Pieter Borseler (1633-1687)

17th-Century Portrait Painting Old Master Circle of Pieter Borseler (1633-1687) This is a magnificent and highly evocative 17th Century Dutch Golden Age Old Master oil on canvas portrait depicting a distinguished noble gentleman dressed in elegant period attire with an impressive white ruff. Painted circa 1660–1670, the work is attributed to a Dutch Baroque artist working very close to the circle of Pieter Borsseler (1633–1687), one of the leading portraitists of the Dutch Golden Age. The portrait displays exceptional artistic quality, with a remarkably lifelike presence and refined handling that exemplifies the finest traditions of Dutch portraiture. It is housed in its original 17th-century Sunderland-style carved giltwood and gesso frame, a wonderful survivor that complements the painting beautifully. Having remained untouched for centuries, the painting bears the honest signs of its remarkable age. As shown in the photographs, there are various historical cosmetic imperfections to both the canvas and frame, entirely consistent with a work approaching 360 years old. Presented in an authentic "as found" condition, it possesses tremendous character and historical charm, making it an outstanding display piece. For those seeking a more pristine appearance, the painting and frame would also respond well to sympathetic professional conservation. A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Dutch Golden Age portrait of exceptional presence, authenticity and decorative appeal.
