About the piece
Painted in 1861 by Jan Daniël Beynon, this striking oil on canvas captures Hendrik de Bruyn with a solemn and authoritative presence. The subject's silver hair and detailed facial features are rendered with masterful technique and set against a rich, dark background. The inclusion of a small red book adds a scholarly narrative element to this classic European portrait.
