Delporte (1843-1886) with the presentation of an antique appraiser/dealer or notary for recording or appraising a household item with the next of kin.

Francois was born and died in amsterdam and was primarily a genre and person painter (the painting and the frame require restoration). Wear consistent with age and use.
