About the piece
This masterful 1775 portrait by Willem Jacob Herreyns depicts the painter Andries Lens. Set within a dimly lit studio, the subject is rendered with luminous clarity, his plum-colored drapery providing a rich contrast to the scholarly clutter of sketches, books, and brushes that signal his intellectual and artistic prowess.
