This 1795 engraving by François Joseph Pfeiffer is a portrait of J. van der Heijden. The sitter is depicted in a formal pose, wearing a dark coat, with his head turned slightly to the right. The portrait is framed by an oval shape, which adds to its classic feel. It's an example of the Neoclassical style, which was popular in Europe in the late 18th century, emphasizing reason, balance, and order. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
