Cornelis Outshoorn (1810-75). Engineer and Architect 1850 - 1870

This portrait of Cornelis Outshoorn, an engineer and architect, was painted by Moritz Calisch between 1850 and 1870. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Outshoorn in a formal pose, dressed in a dark suit and a white cravat. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the painting. The painting captures Outshoorn's presence and suggests his importance in the field of engineering and architecture. The realistic style of the painting is characteristic of Calisch's work.
