Portret van Nicolaas Muys 1785 - 1864

Gerardus Johannes Verburgh's 18th century portrait of Nicolaas Muys depicts the sitter in a bust-length composition with a focus on the face. The detailed rendering of the subject's powdered wig and attire suggests the portrait was intended for personal use. Verburgh's work often showcased his skill with the pencil, which is evident in the delicate shading of the portrait's clothing and the realistic representation of the sitter's features. This work is a valuable example of 18th-century portraiture and is a significant contribution to Verburgh's oeuvre.
