Portret van de theoloog Valentin Sutorius 1704

This 1704 engraving by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk (1660-1711) portrays Valentinus Sutorius, a theologian who served as superintendent and advisor to the church in Roemhild, Germany. Schenk captures Sutorius in an austere yet dignified pose, emphasizing his role as a respected figure in the church. The engraving's detail of Sutorius's attire, including his white collar and black robe, hints at his position within the religious hierarchy. It is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the artist's skill and the subject's significance.
