Reproductie van een gravure van een portret van Joannes Meyssens door Cornelis Galle (II) before 1877

Joseph Maes, a Belgian artist born in 1838, created a reproduction of a portrait of Joannes Meyssens, a Flemish painter and publisher, in the late 19th century. The reproduction, a black and white engraving, features Meyssens in a three-quarter profile, dressed in a dark coat and a white collar. He is shown looking towards the viewer with a confident gaze. The artist's signature, "Jos. Maes," is visible in the lower right corner, alongside the name of the subject, "Jan Meyssens." The artwork, measuring 119 mm in height and 90 mm in width, serves as a reminder of the artist's skill in reproducing historical figures and portraying them with a sense of realism.
