Portret van Bernard Herman Goudriaan c. 1847 - 1865

This portrait, created between 1847 and 1865, captures the likeness of Bernard Herman Goudriaan, likely an important figure of the time. The work was executed by the Dutch artist Hendrikus Michael, who was born in 1814 and sadly passed away in 1849. Despite Michael's tragically short life, this piece showcases his skill in portraiture. The detail in the subject's attire and the lifelike rendering of his features speaks volumes about Michael's talent. The image's formal composition and realistic style align with typical portraiture conventions of the 19th century.
