About the piece
Painted by Louis Tocqué in 1738, this portrait of Arnoldus van Rijneveld exemplifies the elegance of the Rococo period. The artist demonstrates remarkable skill in depicting the textures of the sitter's lavishly embroidered teal garment and the delicate lace at his cuffs, while the inclusion of sheet music suggests a cultured and refined subject.
