Portraying figures in imaginary historical costume was common at the time. Rembrandt painted several and the subject, the lighting and the use of colour in this painting is reminiscent of his work. But while his signature can be seen on the bottom left of the painting, most art historians now believe it to be false and that this is a work by one of his students or imitators. The numerous adjustments to the sitter’s position and the shape of his hat revealed in X-ray images suggest a less confident approach to the painting than might be expected from Rembrandt himself.
