Portretten van Jan Antonisz. van Ravesteyn en Adriaen Hanneman 1750

This engraving by Pieter Tanjé, dated 1750, is a portrait of two Dutch Golden Age painters: Johannes van Ravesteyn and Adriaen Hanneman. The image is a complex composition, featuring a cherub holding a string above a large canvas, a detailed still life with a brush and a bird, and the two portraits, with van Ravesteyn's portrait filling the left side of the image and Hanneman's portrait appearing as a smaller oval within a larger oval in the center. The intricate detail of the artwork and the inclusion of symbolic elements like the cherub and still life create a fascinating glimpse into the lives and works of these prominent artists. This engraving is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
