Portret van de predikant Bartout van der Feen 1783 - 1837

This portrait of Bartout van der Feen, a Dutch minister, was created by Charles Howard Hodges between 1783 and 1837. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the likeness of van der Feen in a traditional portrait style, showcasing his stern but contemplative expression. The composition is simple, featuring van der Feen in a dark, closed jacket, a classic image of the time for a minister. The oval frame adds to the formal nature of the piece, highlighting the subject's dignity and importance. The portrait is a testament to the artistic skill of Hodges and a glimpse into the life of a prominent Dutch religious figure.
