About this work

This painting shows a man, J. Teissedre l'Ange, who was a school intendant. He's dressed formally and looks serious. The painting is interesting because it was made after a work by another artist, which suggests that the original artist's style was influential. The fact that it's a copy also makes you wonder about the original painting and how it differed. The artist who made this copy, Sluyter, was likely trying to learn from the other artist's techniques. You can learn more about the artist's style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
