Portrait of Peter Courten, Salomon Mesdach (attributed to), 1617 oil on canvas, h 192cm × w 106.5cm. More object details Only the very rich could afford to follow fashion. Those with less money wore their clothes until they were completely worn out. This young man is dressed entirely according to the very latest fashion, and the colourful Turkish dress on the drawing table also indicates great wealth. Presumably it is Peter Courten, a scion of a wealthy merchant family in Zeeland.
