Portret van Dirk Versteegh, ten halven lijve, naar links 1772

Jurriaan Andriessen's "Portret van Dirk Versteegh, ten halven lijve, naar links" is a pastel portrait of Dirk Versteegh, a prominent Dutch figure, from 1772. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Versteegh's likeness in a half-length pose, turned to the left. Andriessen utilizes delicate pastel strokes to render Versteegh's features, from his powdered wig to his attire. This pastel drawing showcases the artist's skill in depicting both the sitter's personality and the details of their attire. The work serves as a historical document of Dutch portraiture during the 18th century, reflecting the fashion and social norms of the era.
