Portret van Simon Simonides op 46-jarige leeftijd 1657 - 1707

This etching by Hendrik Bary, created between 1657 and 1707, depicts a portrait of Simon Simonides at the age of 46. The artwork is a classic example of portraiture, focusing on a realistic depiction of the subject in an oval frame. The intricate details of Simonides’ clothing, his serious expression and the use of shadow and light bring a sense of realism to the piece. This engraving, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Bary's skill in capturing likeness and conveying a sense of gravitas in his subjects.
