Portret van Jan van Goyen 1665 - 1738

This etching by Carel de (II) Moor, created between 1665 and 1738, is a portrait of Dutch painter Jan van Goyen. The artist's careful attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of van Goyen's clothing and the inscription below identifying him as a "renowned painter of his region." Van Goyen is depicted in a relaxed pose, seated with his hand resting on a stack of books, likely symbolizing his intellectual pursuit and artistic skill. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
