About the piece
Painted in 1848 by Willem Karel Frederik Travers, this oil portrait depicts Alexander Theodorus Struth with classical refinement. The sitter's steady gaze and formal attire are rendered with subtle transitions of light and shadow, characteristic of mid-19th-century European portraiture.
