Portret van Henri Spondanus 1696 - 1700

This etching, "Portret van Henri Spondanus," was created between 1696 and 1700 by Jacques Lubin, a prominent Dutch artist. The work depicts Henri Spondanus, a prominent figure in the church, in a formal, almost regal pose. The composition is focused on the subject, with the use of an oval frame further drawing attention to Spondanus's portrait. The detailed depiction of Spondanus’s face, particularly the expression of his eyes, conveys a sense of authority and gravitas, fitting for a clergyman of his time.
