Zelfportret van Pieter Jansz. van Asch 1660 - 1693

This self-portrait etching by Jan Verkolje depicts Pieter Jansz. van Asch, a Dutch painter, in a close-up view. The subject is dressed in a dark coat and a beret, with a white cravat around his neck. His face is finely detailed, with a slightly furrowed brow and an intense gaze directed at the viewer. The artist's signature, "I. Verkolje fecit", is engraved in the bottom right corner of the image. This piece, executed between 1660 and 1693, reflects the Dutch Baroque style with its attention to realism and precise details.
