About this work
Leonardus van der Voort was one of Holland’s delegates to the National Assembly. He holds the draft of the Constitution of the Batavian Republic of 1796, a forerunner of the first Constitution of 1798. He wears the sash donned by all of the people’s delegates. As far as is known, this is the only painted portrait of a member of the National Assembly.
