"Portret van Peter Lund Simmonds" is an anonymous portrait of a man with a full beard, likely created before 1885. The artwork is a black and white engraving, showing a man in a dark coat, with a stern facial expression. The inscription below the image identifies the subject as "R. F. L. Simmonds, Agent accrédité de la Présidence de Bombay", adding historical context to the portrait. The small size of the artwork, measuring 138 mm by 102 mm, suggests it might have been a personal portrait or a reproduction for a publication. The engraving technique and the subject matter, a portrait of an individual, place it within the tradition of historical portraiture.
