Descriptive Note
|
Text: The virtuosity of the sculptor
is apparent in the rendering of a variety of textures,
including flesh, hair, lace, satins. Verhulst has employed
an ingenious method to mitigate the truncation of the
figure at the shoulders and chest, namely by using decorative
foliage and curving volutes below the armor. Jacob van
Reygersberg was a wealthy provincial politician who
had recently been sent to the States General, the national
governing body of the Netherlands, to represent the
Dutch province of Zeeland. His armor identifies him
as a member of the noble class.
