About this work

This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, wearing a formal coat with a coat of arms. He looks serious and important. The man in the painting is Cornelis Bynkershoek, a president of a court in Holland, and this portrait was made after an earlier painting by another artist. The painting has a lot of details, like the coat of arms, which suggests the subject's status. You can learn more about the artist who made this, Tanjé, Pieter, (1701-1761).
