Portretten van Paulus van Hemert en Jean Henri van Swinden 1814 - 1816

This engraving by Jacob Ernst Marcus, created between 1814 and 1816, depicts portraits of Paulus van Hemert and Jean Henri van Swinden. The bust-length portraits are presented side-by-side, with the subjects rendered in a realistic style. The fine lines and hatching of the engraving give the illusion of texture and depth, emphasizing the subtle details of their clothing and expressions. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistry of the early 19th century and the prominent figures of Dutch society.
