Portrait of Gerard Andriesz Bicker, Bartholomeus van der Helst
Like his father, 20-year-old Gerard Bicker was self-consciously portrayed with one hand to his side. However, the generational differences between the costumes are striking. Whereas father Andries is dressed in moody black with an old-fashioned pleated collar, Gerard wears a colourful and gaudy outfit with a flat collar and fashionable gloves. Administrative functions were less for him.
