About this work
Portrait of Jan Nicquet, merchant and art collector, half-length. In the upper right the family coat of arms. Below the image four lines of Latin and four lines of Dutch text in calligraphy. Translation of the Latin text: You, my son, do not look at my face or merely at my appearance, but I have also performed praiseworthy, imitable deeds. I, Nicquet, send my Body in the Right Way. Follow me and you will be the Living Image of your father.
