The Standard Bearer (probably Floris Soop, 1604–1657)
Rembrandt
1654
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.
