EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Ludolf Backhuysen II, a grandson of the renowned Dutch marine painter Ludolf Backhuysen I, in the prime of his youth. Painted by Cornelis Troost around 1735-1750, the portrait showcases Ludolf's dual identity as both a painter and a dragoon. The young man wears the uniform of a dragoon guard, complete with a bicorne hat adorned with a cockade, a red coat with gold buttons, and a blue waistcoat. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the clothing and hat are expertly rendered in oil on paper, reflecting the artist's mastery of the medium. Ludolf's expression is serious and confident, hinting at the discipline and focus required to excel in both his artistic and military pursuits. The portrait offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Dutch art and the complexities of eighteenth-century life, where artistic talent and military service were not mutually exclusive. The portrait also underscores the importance of clothing and fashion in expressing one's identity and occupation during this period. The portrait is a testament to the artistic legacy of the Backhuysen family, with Ludolf II continuing the family tradition of artistic excellence while also making a name for himself as a dragoon. The portrait remains an intriguing and captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers today.
