Daniel Heinsius 

This etching, created by Dutch artist Jan Lievens, is a portrait of Daniel Heinsius, a prominent figure in the court of the King of Sweden. Heinsius’s stern expression and formal attire, including a fur-trimmed robe and a large, white collar, reflect his status as a learned and influential advisor. The inscription below the portrait identifies Heinsius as “Equites Sgrgn. Svecorvm Regi a Consiliis,” or “Knight, Secretary of the King of Sweden, and Council.” This detailed and realistic portrait of Heinsius is characteristic of Lievens's style and his skill as a draftsman and engraver.
