About this work

This painting shows a man, B.F. Suerman, sitting for his portrait. The artist, Taurel, made this after a work by B. de Poorter, which is an interesting fact. It tells us that Taurel was inspired by other artists and didn't just create original works. You can learn more about the artist who inspired this style by looking up the technique of sfumato.
