About the piece

This 1886 portrait by Charles Verlat depicts the painter Louis Derickx with a masterful play of light and shadow. Derickx is shown holding a portfolio, his steady gaze and distinguished features rendered with the luminous precision characteristic of 19th-century European academic realism.
