Anthonie Mor van Dashorst (1564)

[python_regius]

Seated in a leather chair is a middle-aged man. He seems a neat sort of person, with his short beard and bright, alert glance. His clothes are made of a black, shiny material. The ring on his index finger and his gloves reveal his wealth. This is Thomas Gresham, a merchant, in his forties. He was the financial representative of the English Crown in the Netherlands. The portrait was painted in 1564 by the Utrecht artist Anthonie Mor van Dashorst.   www.rijksmuseum.nl
