Portret van Pieter Paulus 1778 - 1827

This engraving by Dutch artist Jacobus Wijsman depicts Pieter Paulus in an oval frame. The artwork is a classic example of portraiture, showcasing Paulus in a formal pose, wearing a dark coat and a white cravat. The subject's gaze is directed toward the viewer, adding a sense of intimacy to the piece. This small-scale work, measuring only 221mm x 147mm, exemplifies the precision and detail typical of Wijsman's work during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
