About the piece
Painted in 1818 by Woutherus Mol, this striking portrait depicts Paulus Joseph Gabriël. The subject is rendered with soft, naturalistic light, emphasized by his crisp white cravat and the scholarly presence of a classical plaster bust in the background, suggesting a refined and intellectual character.
