Portret van Johannes Buma 1767

This engraving, created by Dutch artist Rienk Jelgerhuis in 1767, depicts a portrait of Johannes Buma. The image portrays Buma in a three-quarter view, turned slightly to the right, with his head slightly tilted forward. His face is illuminated from the left, highlighting his features. The use of hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, giving the engraving a realistic appearance. The overall composition of the artwork is simple and elegant, focusing solely on the subject. The inscription below the portrait, framed by an ornate border, would likely have contained information about the sitter. This piece is a testament to Jelgerhuis's skill in portraiture and printmaking.
