Portrait of Coenraad van Beuningen (1622-1693), three-quarter-length, in a blue japonsche rok and a lace stock, before a draped curtain

Coenraad van Beuningen is said to be shown here when he was 24 years old. From a young age, he was a successful diplomat and member of the Amsterdam city council. He was chosen mayor of Amsterdam six times and represented Holland as an envoy in Sweden, Denmark, England and France. Another version of the present portrait is in the Amsterdam Historisch Museum.
