Portret van Thomas Fairfax 1736 - 1738

Jacob Houbraken's "Portret van Thomas Fairfax" (1736-1738) is an engraving depicting the English general Thomas Fairfax. The print showcases Fairfax in an oval frame, surrounded by elaborate baroque ornamentation. The ornate details and the depiction of a battle scene at the bottom of the frame are typical of 18th-century engravings. The artwork, a fine example of portraiture, is a testament to Houbraken's skill as a printmaker and his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects. The engraving is held at the Rijksmuseum.
