Portret van Johannes Clarisse 1809 - 1853

This anonymous portrait of Johannes Clarisse, a Dutch theologian who worked in the Academy of Leiden, is a black and white print measuring 300 mm in height and 251 mm in width. The engraving shows Clarisse in a formal setting, perhaps his study, with bookshelves in the background and a large book open on a table. The image is likely from the early 19th century, as indicated by the style of the print and the inscription on the bottom of the portrait. Clarisse's inscription refers to the "Academia Lagd Batas," likely referencing the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.
