Portrait of Jacob Willemsz. de Vos c. 1795

This 18th-century oil painting, "Portrait of Jacob Willemsz. de Vos", is a portrait of a young man wearing fashionable attire of the time. The subject is posed with a book, likely a symbol of his education or intellect. The artist, who remains anonymous, uses muted tones to create a sense of realism, focusing on the details of the subject's clothing and expression. The background, a blurred landscape, further emphasizes the sitter as the central focus of the painting. This work is a fine example of portraiture during the late 18th century.
