Description

H. 29 cm. W. 27 cm.

This formally thought lost portrait depicting the Reverend Gerardus Sandifort (Ouddorp 1709 - The Hague 1757) was mentioned by Johan van Gool in the second volume of his ‘De Nieuwe Schouburg’ (1751). In this solemn but refined portrait, Schouman depicts the cleric as ‘Verbi Divini Minister’, the ‘bearer of the Divine Word’, entirely in line with the Calvinist spirit that did not tolerate the glorification of the clergyman as a person.

Provenance: Private collection, The Netherlands

Catalogue note: We are grateful to Dr.Ch. Dumas, head-curator Old Master paining at the RKD, The Hague, for endorsing the attribution to Schouman. This painting will be included in the Schouman exhibition, Dordrechts Museum, 2012/13
