About the piece
This 1772 oil painting by Peter Jacob Horemans depicts Joseph Hölzl at his workspace. The composition masterfully balances formal portraiture with still life, showcasing the subject in a powder-blue frock coat while highlighting the luminous, intricately detailed silver tureen and plates that characterize the refined domestic culture of the period.
