Portret van Cornelius Henricus à Roy 1794 - 1828

"Portret van Cornelius Henricus à Roy" is an 18th-century engraving by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman, depicting the sitter in a seated pose, holding a book. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of portraiture in the Neoclassical style, with its emphasis on clear lines and a focus on the sitter's character and dignity. The artwork was created between 1794 and 1828, a period when portraiture flourished in Europe. Portman's use of shading and detail adds depth and realism to the subject.
