About this work

The painting shows a man, Taco Hajo van den Honert, in a formal pose. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. This painting is interesting because it was made after another work by H. van der Mij from 1736, and it has a Latin verse by H. Snakenburg below the image, which adds a layer of history to it. The verse and the image together tell us more about the subject. The painting can be compared to works by artist Houbraken, Jacob, (1698-1780).
