The Antiquary is a 1846 oil by Ede Heinrich, a Biedermeier work, depicting John the Evangelist, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows an old man with white hair and a beard, wearing a red robe. He is sitting at a table with a book and some objects on it. The man is looking at something in his hand. The man's face is serious, and he seems to be thinking deeply. The objects on the table are not clearly visible, but they appear to be some kind of tools or instruments. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the man and the objects on the table stand out. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a lot of detail and texture. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting.
