Portret van Johann Winckler 1840 - 1881

This etching by Jacob Gole depicts Johann Winckler, a notable figure in Dutch history. Created between 1840 and 1881, the artwork features a close-up portrait of Winckler, with his hand resting on an open book. He wears a ruff, a common garment in the 17th century. The portrait's focus on detail and the use of an oval frame are characteristic of Baroque art, a style prevalent in the Netherlands during Gole's lifetime. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the past.
