About the piece
Painted by Dionys van Nijmegen around 1790, this refined oil portrait depicts Dionys Eliasz van Nijmegen in a sophisticated terracotta coat and ruffed collar. The young sitter holds objects associated with leisure, such as a shuttlecock, reflecting the late 18th-century Dutch tradition of depicting children with playful yet dignified attributes.
