Johan Hendrik Hoffmeister’s "Portret van Gerrit van der Jagt" is a lithograph portrait of Gerrit van der Jagt, a Dutch businessman and politician, executed sometime between 1851 and 1883. The portrait captures van der Jagt in a formal pose, standing with his right hand resting on a table. Hoffmeister, born in 1823 and known for his lithographic portraits and landscapes, expertly rendered van der Jagt with detailed realism, depicting the subject's clothing, facial features and the surrounding environment with a focus on precision. This lithograph, measuring 525mm x 355mm, exemplifies the typical style of portraiture in the mid-19th century.
