About the piece
Painted in 1750 by Jan Maurits Quinkhard, this oil portrait depicts Cornelis Dirksz van Foreest in a dignified half-length pose. The subject wears the characteristic powdered wig and ruffled sleeve cuffs of the mid-18th century, set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the luminous rendering of his face and hands.
