This engraving by Theodor Matham, created between 1623 and 1676, depicts Hadrianus Junius, a prominent figure of the time. The portrait showcases Junius in profile, wearing a fur-trimmed coat and a cap, emphasizing his status and dignity. The oval frame surrounding the portrait further underscores the importance of the subject, a common practice in 17th-century portraiture. The inscription below the portrait, in Latin, adds further context to the subject's life and achievements. This piece is a fine example of Dutch printmaking in the 17th century, known for its detailed execution and illustrative quality.
