About the piece
This 1815 portrait by Adriaan de Lelie depicts Cornelis Sebille Roos, a prominent Dutch art dealer and museum inspector. The work showcases the artist's mastery of the late Neoclassical style, balancing a sharp focus on the sitter's characterful expression with the fine, tactile textures of his Regency-era attire.
