Portret van Gerardus Amelisz. van Hoogeveen 1623 - 1676

This engraving by Dutch artist Theodor Matham portrays Gerardus van Hoogeveen, a prominent figure in 17th-century Dutch society. The detailed portrait, set within an oval frame, captures van Hoogeveen's serious demeanor, emphasized by his neatly trimmed beard and thoughtful expression. The inscription below identifies him as a clergyman and curator of the Academy of Hoogeveen. This etching, characteristic of Dutch portraiture of the period, is a testament to the enduring legacy of a significant individual.
