Portret van de schilder Simon de Vos Possibly 1630 - 1646

This engraving by Paulus Pontius, dating from 1630 - 1646, depicts Simon de Vos, a prominent Flemish painter. The portrait showcases de Vos in a three-quarter length pose, dressed in a richly textured coat and a lace collar. Pontius, renowned for his skillful rendering of detail, captures de Vos's keen gaze and the subtle play of light across his face. The engraving is a testament to the artistic prowess of both artists, reflecting the flourishing art scene of 17th-century Antwerp. This work is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into the world of Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
