Cornelis van Aerssen (1600-62), Lord of Sommelsdijk, Colonel of Cavalry

Adriaen Hanneman was a Dutch Golden Age portraitist active in The Hague and Amsterdam during the seventeenth century. He specialized in formal oil paintings of aristocratic and merchant-class sitters, executed with meticulous attention to costume, jewelry, and social status. His work exemplifies the technical precision and psychological restraint characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Dutch court portraiture.
