A Gentleman receiving a Letter

Image description: Jan Weenix the younger (Amsterdam 1642 Amsterdam 1719). Oil painting on canvas, A Gentleman receiving a Letter, Jan Weenix the younger (Amsterdam 1642 Amsterdam 1719), 1702/16 signed on a letter at the left - J. Weenix. A full-length portrait of a man leaning on a pedestal, boy with letter on the right, dog in foreground, landscape background. Probably painted when Weenix was working in Dusseldorf for the Elector Palatine Jan Wellem between 1702 and 1716. The sitter was probably a high court official; the coins may indicate that he worked for the Mint, or that he was a collector. Wimpole, Cambridgeshire (Accredited Museum)
