Coen Van Oven

Portrait of Mr. J.C. van Oven, brother of the artist, reading E.T.A. Hoffmann (a Prussian Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's famous opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffmann appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is based.) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._T._A._Hoffmann]
