Portret van Hendrik Moens 1731 - 1748

This etching by Philippus Endlich, created between 1731 and 1748, depicts a portrait of Hendrik Moens, a prominent figure in the Dutch Republic. The portrait is a classic example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow and its emphasis on the sitter's presence. Moens is shown in a formal pose, his features rendered with meticulous detail, and his attire reflecting his high social status. The inscription below the portrait identifies him as "Messieurs Henry Moens Seigneur de Ravensberg-Eronenburg," highlighting his noble lineage. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the skill of Endlich and offers a glimpse into the life of an influential individual during the 18th century.
