This sober image of the artist's father was painted in the year Heemskerck left Haarlem for an extended trip to Italy. The inscription on the parapet reads, "My son portrayed me here when I had lived seventy-five years so they say." Departing from his usual classicizing style, the artist reverted to vernacular Dutch in Gothic letters, declaring this a portrait grounded in life and experience. A direct gaze confronts the viewer with the presence of a stern man nearing the end of his life. Three years later, Van Veen died at the age of seventy-nine, while Heemskerck was still abroad.
