Bij De Notaris (At the Notary) is an evocative genre painting by the renowned Belgian artist Gerard Portielje, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for his detailed and narrative-driven compositions, Portielje often depicted scenes of everyday life imbued with a sense of realism and a touch of humor. "Bij De Notaris" is a quintessential example of his work, capturing a moment of social interaction within the formal setting of a notary's office.

The painting portrays a group of individuals gathered around a table, presumably engaged in the signing of legal documents or the reading of a will. The notary, distinguished by his formal attire and authoritative demeanor, is the focal point of the scene, guiding the proceedings with a sense of gravitas. Surrounding him are various characters, each rendered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Portielje's keen observation of human behavior and social dynamics.

Portielje's use of light and shadow enhances the composition, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures while also illuminating the rich textures of the period costumes and the ornate furnishings of the office. The artist's skillful brushwork and the subtle interplay of colors contribute to the overall realism of the scene, making it a vivid snapshot of 19th-century bourgeois life.

"Bij De Notaris" not only showcases Portielje's technical prowess but also his ability to infuse a narrative with both drama and subtle humor. The expressions and body language of the characters suggest underlying tensions and relationships, inviting viewers to speculate about the backstory and the outcome of the legal matter at hand. This painting remains a testament to Portielje's talent for capturing the complexities of human interaction within the context of everyday life.
