About the piece
Painted in 1751 by Philip van Dijk, this formal portrait depicts Johan Gualtherus van der Poort in a moment of scholarly repose. Dressed in a vibrant red waistcoat and a soft grey coat, he stands beside a desk with books and documents, while a soft Dutch landscape stretches out behind him.
