Portrait of Laurens Reael
Laurens Reael was governor-general of the VOC (Dutch East India Company), the company’s highest position in Asia. On returning to the Netherlands, he had himself portrayed full-length by a leading Amsterdam artist. Around his neck, the richly dressed Reael wears the gold chain that the States-General presented to him for his work in Asia.
