Portret van Hans de Wael 1630 - 1677

This etching, created between 1630 and 1677 by Dutch artist Adriaen Lommelin (1636-1673), is a portrait of Hans de Wael. The image is a bust-length portrait of de Wael, showing him in a formal, detailed outfit, characteristic of the period. The intricate detail of his ruff, clothing, and the subtle folds in the fabric of the background suggest a fine attention to detail typical of 17th-century Dutch portraiture. The piece is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
