Portrait of Hadriaan Beverland
Jan van Munnickhuysen (mentioned on object), c. 1676 - c. 1680
For Beverland, portraits were a means of establishing his reputation. Each one highlights a different aspect of his personality. On the one hand, they present him as an ambitious philosopher and, on the other, as a provocative bad boy. In this standard portrait, framed in a laurel wreath, we see the 26-year-old Beverland as a respectable scholar. It would have been fitting as an author’s portrait in a book.
