About the piece
Painted in 1834 by Jacobus Josephus Eeckhout, this formal oil portrait depicts Charles Sulpice Flament in his academic robes and skullcap. The composition features a rich display of scholarly attributes, including stacked leather-bound volumes and a red chair, rendered with the polished technique and dramatic lighting typical of the 19th-century European tradition.
