Buste van Plato en buste van een onbekende filosoof 1636 - 1647

This etching, created between 1636 and 1647 by Dutch artist Theodor Matham, features two busts, one of the Greek philosopher Plato and the other of an unknown philosopher. The detailed rendering of the facial features and the drapery highlights Matham's mastery of engraving. The work is a testament to the enduring influence of classical philosophy, and the artist's skillful portrayal of these historical figures adds depth and dimension to their representations. This work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a major museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
