| Johannes Verspronck Andries Stilte as Standard Bearer 1640 National Gallery of Art (U.S.) |
In the portrait above a gentleman in pink satin and silver lace wraps himself in a blue satin banner. His blue satin sash is tied in a huge bow at back, like an obi. Dyed-to-match ostrich plumes ornament a swaggering black hat. The supple creamy gloves appear to be lambskin. Andries Stilte is the name of this proud and splendid man who serves today as uniformed greeter for a group of Dutch paintings from the 17th century.
