"Portret van Johann Philip van der Kellen" is a portrait drawing by Johannes Arnoldus Boland, a Dutch artist, completed sometime between 1850 and 1907. The drawing, measuring just 98 mm high and 67 mm wide, depicts a man in a suit, with a prominent mustache, turned slightly to the right. The work likely captures the likeness of a prominent figure, Johann Philip van der Kellen, during the mid-19th century. The drawing is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the subject's facial features and attire with detail and accuracy. This small-scale work offers insight into Boland's artistic practice and the portraiture of the era.
