Portret van Nicolaas van Tetterode 1765

"Portret van Nicolaas van Tetterode" (1765) is a portrait by Dutch artist Jacob Houbraken (1698-1780). Houbraken, known for his engravings and portraits, captures the likeness of Nicolaas van Tetterode in a simple, yet dignified manner. The subject sits in a dimly lit interior, his hand resting on an open book, suggesting his scholarly pursuits. The work, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture and offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure of the time.
