"Portret van Jan van Goyen" is an etching by Carel de Moor (II) created sometime between 1665 and 1738. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a portrait of Jan van Goyen, a prominent Dutch Golden Age painter. The artwork features a close-up of van Goyen, with the subject's face and the upper body prominently displayed, dressed in a dark coat and a wide-brimmed hat.
