"Portret van Joseph Lies" is a portrait of the individual Joseph Lies, created in 1885 by Belgian artist Piet Verhaert. Verhaert, known for his detailed realism, captures Lies in a close-up portrait. Lies is shown with a serious expression, wearing a dark coat and a white collar, with a noticeable mustache and sideburns. The portrait was likely commissioned by Lies, and the signature "Joseph Lies" underneath adds authenticity to the piece. Verhaert's work reflects the artistic trends of the late 19th century, highlighting the realistic approach to portraiture that was popular during that period.
