Portret van Friedrich Adolph Lampe 1748

Hendrik Pothoven's "Portret van Friedrich Adolph Lampe," painted in 1748, is a small-scale portrait of the prominent figure Friedrich Adolph Lampe, a German theologian and hymn writer. The portrait is notable for its focus on Lampe's likeness, captured in a realistic and detailed manner. The sitter is depicted in a formal pose, perhaps in a window setting, emphasizing his intellectual pursuits and societal standing. This painting, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Pothoven's skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
