About the piece
This 1914 portrait by Henry Luyten depicts Max Rooses, the first conservator of the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Painted with a sophisticated, painterly technique, the subject's thoughtful expression and striking white beard are illuminated against a rich, dark backdrop, capturing a sense of scholarly dignity and historical presence.
