There’s the suggestion of a smile in Purmerent’s eyes and around his mouth (almost hidden under the luxuriant beard and moustache). The crucifix suggests he is a Catholic and his long black gown and the biretta, the black hat in his right hand, suggest that he is a priest.\n\nThe identification is confirmed by another portrait of him by the artist’s nephew, Hendrik Cornelisz. van der Vliet (now in the Bagijnhof, Delft). Willem’s portrait was probably painted to mark Purmerent’s appointment as archpriest of Delfland in February 1631. The Dutch Republic was a Protestant country, which meant that only Protestants could hold positions of power, but the Catholic faith was tolerated as long as it was practiced in private and places of worship preferably largely hidden from view.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/willem-van-der-vliet-portrait-of-suitbertus-purmerent\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Portrait of Suitbertus Purmerent\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willem Van Der Vliet","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":44294359548017,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (44 5\/8\" x 33 5\/8\")","offer_id":44294359580785,"sku":null,"price":2401.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 5\/8\" x 15 1\/2\")","offer_id":44294359613553,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25 1\/4\" x 19\")","offer_id":44294359646321,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 7\/8\" x 23 1\/4\")","offer_id":44294359679089,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 7\/8\" x 30\")","offer_id":44294359711857,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 7\/8\" x 36\")","offer_id":44294359744625,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56 3\/8\" x 42 3\/8\")","offer_id":44294359777393,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (67 3\/4\" x 51\")","offer_id":44294359810161,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3934\/0401\/files\/PortraitofSuitbertusPurmerent.jpg?v=1787542551","url":"https:\/\/mastermuseumreplicas.com\/products\/portrait-of-suitbertus-purmerent-ngal1749","provider":"Master Museum Replicas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
