"Portrait of an Officer, Half-Length, in Armor, with a Red Sash" is a 17th-century painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp. This work exemplifies Cuyp's skill in portraiture, a genre for which he was particularly renowned in his hometown of Dordrecht. The painting depicts an unidentified military officer, captured from the waist up, clad in armor that reflects the status and martial prowess of the sitter. The red sash, a common symbol of high military rank, adds a vibrant contrast to the polished steel of the armor and serves to highlight the officer's prestigious position.

Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp (1594–1652) was a leading portraitist of his time, and his works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike quality of his subjects. "Portrait of an Officer" is no exception, showcasing Cuyp's ability to convey the textures of metal and fabric, as well as the individual personality of the sitter. The painting's composition, with the officer's gaze meeting the viewer's, suggests a sense of immediacy and presence, inviting contemplation of the individual's character and story.

The exact date of the painting is not known, but it is likely to have been produced during the height of Cuyp's career, when he was the preeminent portrait painter in Dordrecht. The artwork is an important example of Dutch portraiture of the period, reflecting the societal values and the prominence of military figures during the Dutch Republic's Golden Age. Today, the painting is considered an important work within Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the artistic and cultural milieu of 17th-century Netherlands.
