Portrait of Dirck Hasselaer
1614
Dirck Hasselaer strikes a pose in his finest black doublet and a massive, starched white ruff collar that looks like it took hours to iron. Painted in 1614 by Cornelis van der Voort, this portrait captures the height of Dutch fashion, where looking serious and wealthy was the ultimate goal. You can even see the artist's faint inscription in the top right corner noting Dirck's age (33) and the year, proving that documenting your exact look isn't just a modern selfie obsession—people have been doing it for centuries!
