Portret van Samuel Koenraad de Bruine 1723 - 1763

This etching, *Portret van Samuel Koenraad de Bruine*, was created by Johannes van Vilsteren between 1723 and 1763, the year of his death. The work is a portrait of Samuel Koenraad de Bruine, a prominent figure in Dutch society, possibly a politician or religious leader. The etching captures de Bruine in a formal pose, his attire and posture conveying his status and authority. The work's stark contrast and detailed rendering of de Bruine's features are hallmarks of the etching style, a popular technique for portraiture in the 18th century.
