"Bartholomeus van der Helst (1613 – buried 16 December 1670) was a Dutch painter. Considered to be one of the leading portrait painters of the Dutch Golden Age, his elegant portraits gained him the patronage of Amsterdam´s elite as well as the Stadtholder´s circle. Besides portraits, van der Helst painted a few genre pictures as well as some biblical scenes and mythological subjects." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.11.2019)
