Portrait of David or Daniel Lingelbach I, Founder of the Nieuwe Doolhof (New Labyringh), Amsterdam 1700 - 1732

This miniature portrait by Arnoud van Halen depicts David or Daniel Lingelbach I, the founder of the Nieuwe Doolhof (New Labyringh) in Amsterdam. Created between 1700 and 1732, the painting shows a close-up of Lingelbach’s face. The sitter is portrayed wearing a dark brown coat with a white collar and a serious expression, looking directly at the viewer. Van Halen’s miniature captures the essence of Lingelbach's personality, likely intended as a personal commemoration of the influential figure.
