Portret van Franciscus Jacobus van Vree 1826 - 1863

This black and white lithograph, created between 1826 and 1863 by Albertus Anthonius Nunnink, depicts Franciscus Jacobus van Vree, Bishop of Haarlem. The portrait showcases the Bishop in his clerical robes, adorned with a pectoral cross and chain, with a solemn expression. Nunnink's detailed rendering of the subject's attire and the subtle shading of the background creates a realistic and dignified portrayal, typical of the portraiture style prevalent during this period. The artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the history of the Dutch Catholic Church.
