EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century portrait, painted by the renowned Dutch artist Job Adriaensz Berckheyde, depicts Nicolaes Eichelberg (d. 1699), a successful merchant from Haarlem, Netherlands, and his wife, Helena van der Schalcke. The painting, titled "Haarlem Merchant, Husband of Helena van der Schalcke," was completed in 1667 and is an exquisite example of Dutch Golden Age art. Nicolaes Eichelberg is depicted in formal attire, wearing a high-collared, long-sleeved doublet with intricate lace detailing and a matching waistcoat. His collar is adorned with a large, ornate buckle, symbolizing his wealth and status. He holds a pair of fine leather gloves in his left hand, indicating his refined taste and the importance of gloves in Dutch fashion during this period. His wife, Helena, is shown wearing a richly colored, voluminous dress with a low-cut neckline and long, flowing sleeves. Her collar is also adorned with lace, and she wears a pair of gloves, matching her husband's. The painting is an oil on panel work, and the use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. The couple's gaze towards each other suggests a deep connection and love. The painting is now part of the Rijksmuseum's extensive collection and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century. The intricate details of their clothing and the use of color and light make this portrait a stunning work of art, providing a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Dutch Golden Age.
