"Levensberigt van Willem Vrolik," a biographical sketch of Willem Vrolik, is an 1864 work by J. van der Hoeven. This portrait of Vrolik appears on the title page of the "Jaarboek" (annual book) of the Royal Academy of Sciences, printed in Amsterdam. The small, framed portrait is a testament to Vrolik's contributions to science and likely served as a tribute to his memory in the publication. The image, printed on paper, is just under 10cm tall and 25cm wide, making it an intimate and personal portrayal of the individual.
