"Portret van Reinier Schweigholt" is an 1818-1874 engraving by Dutch artist Petrus Josephus Lutgers (1808-1874). It depicts Reinier Schweigholt in profile, with his face turned towards the viewer's left. The engraving is set within an oval frame, a common compositional device in portraiture, and is done in a monochrome style. This artwork exemplifies the portraiture style popular in the 19th century, capturing the likeness of a prominent individual with a focus on detail and realism. The work's small size, measuring 335 mm in height and 255 mm in width, suggests it was likely a private commission or intended for personal use.
