Portret Pieter Alexander van Boetzelaer c. 1825

This print of Pieter Alexander van Boetzelaer, created by Antonis Aloisius Emanuel van Bedaff around 1825, is a classic example of portraiture from the early 19th century. The artwork's grayscale tones and detailed rendering of the subject's features, particularly his gaze and the texture of his clothing, offer a glimpse into the sitter's character. The composition emphasizes the subject's presence, with the focus drawn to the figure of van Boetzelaer, a prominent Dutch politician of the time. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering insight into the artistic and societal landscape of the Netherlands during the 19th century.
