Portrait of a Man, perhaps J.W. Beynen c. 1812 - 1813

This oil-on-canvas portrait by Charles Howard Hodges, a British painter known for his portraits and historical scenes, captures the likeness of a man, possibly J.W. Beynen. Painted around 1812-1813, the work depicts the subject in a formal pose, wearing a brown coat over a white shirt with a yellow cravat, suggesting a man of stature and refinement. The painting, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Hodges's skill in depicting individuals with both accuracy and sensitivity.
