Portrait of Alexander Morus, Professor at Amsterdam 1700 - 1732

"Portrait of Alexander Morus, Professor at Amsterdam" is a miniature portrait by Dutch painter Arnoud van Halen, created between 1700 and 1732. The painting depicts Alexander Morus, a professor at the University of Amsterdam, in a bust-length pose. He is dressed in a dark robe and a white collar, with his long hair and a dark ribbon tied around his head. The small size and detailed brushstrokes of the painting are characteristic of Dutch miniature portraiture of the 17th and 18th centuries. This piece is a valuable example of Van Halen's skill and his ability to capture a likeness with remarkable detail.
