About the piece
Created by Hendrik Vorderman around 1850, this oil on canvas portrait depicts Barend Gleijsteen in formal attire. The subject's steady gaze and the rich, dark tones of his coat contrast beautifully with the atmospheric, luminous sky of the background, characteristic of the refined Dutch academic style of the period.
