Portret van een man 1763 - 1813

"Portret van een man" (Portrait of a Man), painted between 1763-1813 by Dutch artist Leonardus Temminck, is a miniature portrait of a man in a dark coat and white cravat. The painting is executed in an oval shape, reminiscent of a locket, and would have been a personal keepsake. The small size and delicate details are hallmarks of miniature portraiture, a popular genre during the 18th and 19th centuries.
