Portrait of Mr Soons 1857

"Portrait of Mr Soons" is an oil painting on canvas by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, created in 1857. The painting, currently housed at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, portrays Mr. Soons in a realistic and detailed manner, capturing his likeness with precision. The artist's signature can be seen in the bottom right corner of the canvas. The painting depicts Mr. Soons in a formal pose, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie. The subject appears confident and composed, holding a cigar in his hand. The oval-shaped frame adds to the classic feel of the portrait, making it a fine example of Alma-Tadema's early work.
