Portrait of Hendrick van Thulden 1690s - 1700s

Jacobus Coelemans, a Flemish artist, created this etching in the 17th century depicting Hendrick van Thulden, a doctor from Louvain. The portrait features a close-up view of the subject's face within an oval frame surrounded by a decorative laurel wreath. Coelemans, born in 1654, is known for his intricate engravings, often reproducing works by other artists. This piece is a testament to Coelemans' skillful representation of human form and the use of line in etching, highlighting his contributions to the artistic tradition of the time.
