Portrait of Jeronimus Tonneman and his Son Jeronimus is a 1736 oil by Cornelis Troost, a Rococo painting work, depicting Man, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows two men sitting in a room. The man on the left is wearing a red coat and playing a flute. The man on the right is wearing a black coat and sitting at a table with papers on it. The room has a fireplace with a mirror above it. There is also a statue of a woman in the background. The painting is done in a style that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth. To learn more about this technique, look up "chiaroscuro".
Cornelis Troost (8 October 1696 – 7 March 1750) was a Dutch actor and painter from Amsterdam.
