Johan Melchior Kemper was a lawyer and statesman. He is portrayed standing, full-length at a table with his left hand on a law book. On the back wall are plaques of King William I and the Dutch Lion. On his chest Kemper bears the insignia of the appointment as Commander of the Order of the Dutch Lion, granted on November 18, 1815 (not in November 1813 as in the painting).
