Pieter Ramp

He was born in Haarlem or Alkmaar as the son of Frederik, heer van Rolland and mayor of Alkmaar, and Wilhelmina van Outshoorn van Sonnevelt. Pieter became a flag bearer of the St Adrian militia in 1611–1630.[1] He was portrayed by Frans Hals in his schutterstuk called The Banquet of the Officers of the St Adrian Militia Company in 1627.[1] For a long time he was considered the young cavalier in Hals' Yonker Ramp and his sweetheart. He is wearing the same jacket as Hals' Laughing Cavalier.
