This etching, created between 1660 and 1676 by Dutch artist Theodor Matham, depicts Sir John Webster. The portrait shows Webster in a three-quarter view, his face illuminated by a gentle light, showcasing a realistic depiction of the sitter's features. Matham masterfully captures the detail of Webster's attire, including his lace collar and dark velvet doublet, adding a layer of historical context to the artwork. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Matham's mastery of the medium and his ability to create compelling portraits that resonate with viewers centuries later.
