The Leeuwarden Series: Members of the House of Nassau For Ernst Casimir’s biography see the entry on Wybrand de Geest’s portrait of him (SK-A-570). The present portrait is close to the full-length Portrait of Ernst Casimir executed by Van Mierevelt’s studio for Kampen Town Hall in 1625.42 Judging from the lace-trimmed ruff, the prototype by Van Mierevelt for these two portraits, which has not been located, was probably painted in the early 1620s. The attribution to Van Ravesteyn of Ernst Casimir’s portrait in the Leeuwarden Series in past Rijksmuseum catalogues is rejected here. The potential prototype suggests an attribution to Van Mierevelt’s studio, as does the tight, precise modelling of the sitter’s features, which compares well with other portraits in the series attributed to Van Mierevelt’s studio, such as the Portrait of Willem Lodewijk (SK-A-525) and the Portrait of Ambrogio Spinola (SK-A-544).
