GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The subject of this portrait is probably Jeronimus Deutz, one of the three sons of a wealthy family of Flemish fabric merchants who visited Rome in the 1640s. While there, they commissioned portraits from their countryman Michael Sweerts, a versatile painter of portraits, historical subjects, and low-life genre scenes. Through his careful description of the sitter's fine clothes, gilt sword belt, and handsome features, Sweerts presents a well-to-do, confident young man of good birth.
