Portret van Willem de Clercq 1829 - 1845

Henricus Wilhelmus Couwenberg's "Portret van Willem de Clercq" is an 1829-1845 portrait print that depicts Willem de Clercq, a prominent figure in Dutch society. Couwenberg, a Dutch artist known for his portraits, captures de Clercq in a formal pose, highlighting his status and character. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the detailed style of portraiture popular during the 19th century, showcasing a realistic representation of the sitter within an oval frame.
