EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, entitled "Portrait of Gerard Andriesz Bicker," was painted by the renowned Dutch artist Bartholomeus van der Helst around 1642. Gerard Andriesz Bicker, born in 1622, is depicted here at approximately twenty years old, showcasing the striking contrast between the two generations. The young Bicker is dressed in a vibrant, flamboyant costume, with a flat collar and a chubby figure. His ginger hair, styled in loose curls, frames his round face, and he gazes directly at the viewer with a confident posture, one hand resting on his hip and the other holding a red glove. Bartholomeus van der Helst, a leading figure of the Dutch Golden Age, painted both Bickers, father and son. The difference between the two generations is evident, with Gerard's youthful exuberance contrasting sharply with the more subdued, grey-haired elder Bicker. This oil painting on panel, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the seventeenth century. The portrait now resides in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its historical significance and timeless beauty.
