About the piece
Created around 1750 by Willem Jacob Herreyns, this oil painting depicts the Antwerp canon Antoon de Vries. The artist masterfully captures the tactile qualities of the figure's attire, contrasting the softness of the voluminous fur trim against the deep, dark background to create a sense of scholarly authority and presence.
