Rembrandt

Portrait of Floris Soop

1654 — Charles Sedelmeyer collection; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Charles Sedelmeyer; Jules Bache · New York City

Portrait of Floris Soop or The Standard Bearer is a 1654 oil on canvas portrait by Rembrandt, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The flag, the plume in the hat, and the tooled leather baldric (sword-belt worn over shoulder) indicate that the subject is an ensign in one of Amsterdam's civic guard companies. He is almost certainly Floris Soop, a wealthy bachelor who owned some 140 paintings. The work is currently (2018) not on view.
