About the piece
Painted in 1809, this oil on panel captures Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk in his atelier. The artist looks directly at the viewer, palette and mahlstick in hand, amidst a moody setting featuring plaster study heads and a shadowed interior, reflecting the scholarly atmosphere of late neoclassical Dutch art.
