About this work
Portrait of Lieutenant-Admiral Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter. Knee-length standing before an open curtain and balustrade, behind which to the right a seascape with De Ruyter's flagship the Zeven Provinciën. The sitter leans with his right arm on a globe, holding a command staff in his right hand. He wears the French Order of St. Michael. On the table before the globe a map of the coast of Holland and Flanders with the island of Walcheren in the center, where De Ruyter was born.
