About the piece
Dating from approximately 1740, this formal Dutch portrait captures a man, possibly Johan Gualtherus van der Poort, in the elegant attire of the mid-18th century. The work displays masterful attention to detail, from the structured curls of the wig to the ornate gold trim of the waistcoat, accented by a heraldic crest in the background.
