Jochem Hendricksz Swartenhondt by Nicolaes Eliasz, called Pickenoy, 1627. In 1621 Swartenhondt (1566-1627) commanded the Dutch fleet in the Mediterranean Sea against the Spaniards and other enemies. For this Swartenhondt was awarded the gold chain he is wearing in the portrait. Swartenhondt is also portrayed in the painting by Vroom (adjacent). He is surrounded by officers and sailors on the highest deck of the Hollandsche Tuyn, the ship he commanded as captain.
