The flag, the plume in the hat, and the tooled leather baldric (sword belt) indicate that the sitter of this portrait is an ensign in one of Amsterdam’s civic guard companies. He is almost certainly Floris Soop, a wealthy bachelor with a collection of 140 paintings. Rembrandt conveyed a strong sense of character and revealed extraordinary skill in the vigorously modeled face, the thick hair, and the costume’s details.
