About the piece
Painted in 1758 by George van der Mijn, this portrait depicts Cornelis Ploos van Amstel, a celebrated Dutch art collector and printmaker. The subject is captured in a moment of creative contemplation, his luminous silk coat providing a striking contrast against the scholarly, atmospheric background of his study.
