Portret van Cornelius Ludovicus baron van Wijkerslooth bisschop van Curium Possibly 1837

This 1837 portrait of Cornelius Ludovicus Baron van Wijkerslooth, Bishop of Curium, is a work by Dutch artist Henricus Wilhelmus Couwenberg. The portrait shows the bishop in a seated pose, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, holding a book. The painting is a fine example of portraiture from the early 19th century, demonstrating Couwenberg's skill in capturing the likeness of his sitter. The bishop's solemn expression and the realistic depiction of his attire suggest the importance of his position and the formality of the occasion. This portrait is an important document of the 19th-century history of the Dutch Church, and the portrait is now held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
