Portret van Edmund-Godefried van Bocholtz is a 1664 oil by Walther Damery, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting depicts a man in a black leather suit with a white collar and a cross on his chest. He is standing with his left hand resting on a ledge and his right hand holding a cane. The background is dark, and there is a coat of arms in the bottom-left corner. The man's attire and the coat of arms suggest that he may be a member of the nobility or a high-ranking official. The painting's style and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, create a sense of depth and volume. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who specialized in portraiture during the Baroque period. To learn more about this style and technique, you can explore the works of Walther Damery.
