Portret van de Friese arts Adolph Occo 1590 - 1615

This engraving, created by Dominicus Custos between 1590 and 1615, depicts Adolph Occo, a prominent physician from Friesland. The portrait showcases Occo in a formal pose, adorned with a fur-trimmed garment and a cap. The artist employed a technique that resembles etching, resulting in a detailed and expressive depiction of Occo's features. The inscription surrounding the portrait identifies Occo and includes a Latin phrase celebrating his contributions to medicine. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a significant example of 16th-century portraiture and offers insights into the lives of prominent figures in the Dutch Republic.
