About the piece
Painted in 1759 by George van der Mijn, this portrait depicts Louis Metayer Phz, a notable goldsmith and art collector. The work demonstrates the artist's refined Rococo-era technique, particularly in the luminous handling of the subject's face and the subtle textures of his period attire.
