Portret van Willem Bentinck van Rhoon (1704-1774) 1755 - 1756

This oil painting by Jean-Étienne Liotard, created between 1755 and 1756, depicts Willem Bentinck van Rhoon, a Dutch nobleman. The portrait showcases the sitter in a three-quarter view, his face turned slightly towards the viewer, a common composition for portraits of the era. Liotard’s work is known for its meticulous detail, evident in the rendering of Bentinck’s elaborate wig, his red velvet coat, and the subtle play of light across his features. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the life and style of a prominent figure during the Dutch Golden Age.
