Portret van Jan Maurits Quinkhart 1752 - 1795

This is a portrait of Jan Maurits Quinkhart, created by his own father, Julius Henricus Quinkhard. The artwork is a self-portrait, likely a self-portrait as a young man, dating from between 1752 and 1795. The artist's name is prominently displayed at the top of the artwork. The portrait utilizes the typical techniques of portraiture with the subject looking directly at the viewer, but with a somewhat melancholy expression. The artist used shading to add depth and dimension to the portrait. This portrait is an excellent example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture and offers insight into the lives of Dutch citizens. Julius Quinkhard created portraits, landscapes, and historical scenes.
