About this work

This painting shows a man, Johannes d'Outrein, sitting with a book. He looks serious. The artist copied this from another painting by J. Boonen. The copy is very similar to the original, which is interesting because it shows how artists learned from each other back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
