This self-portrait engraving, created between 1683 and 1732, showcases the Dutch artist Arnoud van Halen (1673-1732). The piece is a classic example of a self-portrait, a genre popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. Van Halen's portrait captures his likeness with meticulous detail, focusing on his face and the texture of his clothing. The composition, with Van Halen's figure framed in an oval, emphasizes the individual. This engraving showcases the artist's skill in capturing likeness and detail through the medium of engraving.
