Help identifying very interesting portrait. (pirate, soldier?) Looks very old
Hello, my name is Keith and this is my first post. I usually collect German steins, but ran across this very cool portrait of what appears to be a pirate or soldier of some sort. Can anyone help me identify the person, the painter, or maybe even the time period?
Thank you! |

He looks to me like one of those Dutch militiamen from the 1600s, such as in Rembrandt's Night Watch. The painting doesn't appear to be that old, so maybe it's a copy or a later version of such a picture.
