This painting shows Jacobus Basnage, a minister and historian, in a formal portrait. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes and holds a book. The artist likely copied this from another painting, which is an interesting fact about this work - it was done after a painting by J. Holzhalb. The subject of the painting is also depicted in several other works. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist Gunst, Pieter van, (1659-1731).
