Louis Bernard Coclers' "Portret van de componist en etser Johan Antoni Kauclitz Colizzi" (c. 1777 - 1808) is an etching depicting the Dutch composer and etcher, Johan Antoni Kauclitz Colizzi, at work. The portrait captures Colizzi in a moment of artistic creation, seated at a desk with a quill pen in hand and a piece of paper before him. A shelf of books and a partially obscured inkwell are visible in the background. The detail of the etching and the expressive lines contribute to a sense of realism and intimacy, offering a glimpse into the life and work of a prominent Dutch artist of the late 18th century.
