Portrait of Jonas Daniel Meijer (1780-1834) 1810 - 1830

This portrait of Jonas Daniel Meijer, painted by Louis Moritz between 1810 and 1830, depicts the sitter in a formal pose, seated in a chair. Meijer is dressed in a black coat and white waistcoat, indicative of his social status. The painting, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch portraiture during the early 19th century, known for its realism and attention to detail. The sitter's facial expression, though calm, suggests a sense of composure and perhaps even a touch of formality.
