Original Description
Lexmond by Nicolaes Wicart (1721-1782) is a captivating Dutch portrait that exemplifies the refined elegance of 18th-century bourgeois society. The work depicts a serene, dignified figure—possibly a burgher or patrician—rendered with Wicart's characteristic precision in facial features and sumptuous textiles. The restrained Baroque style, softened by Rococo influences, shows in the delicate play of light on lace cuffs and the subtle warmth of flesh tones against cool backgrounds. As a pupil of Philip van Dijk, Wicart carried forward the Dutch tradition of meticulous characterization while adapting to the emerging taste for more informal, psychologically nuanced portraits. Though less celebrated than contemporaries like Cornelis Troost, Wicart's works represent an important bridge between formal Golden Age portraiture and the intimate sensibility that would dominate later Dutch art.
For contemporary spaces, this portrait's muted earth tones and balanced composition make it versatile for both traditional and transitional interiors. Hang it in a study or executive office to create an atmosphere of quiet authority, ideally against deep teal or burgundy walls that intensify its warm undertones. The standard 18th-century portrait size (approx. 90x70cm) suits above a vintage writing desk or between built-in bookcases. Pair with Georgian-style furnishings or modern minimalist pieces in walnut to highlight its textural richness. In living areas, echo the painting's ivory and ochre palette through leather armchairs or a sisal rug, while directional gallery lighting enhances the brushwork's tactility. Avoid overcrowding the display wall—this painting commands attention through its psychological depth rather than decorative flourishes.
