Portret van Georg Heijl 1621

Lucas Kilian’s 1621 engraving, *Portret van Georg Heijl*, depicts the German theologian in a three-quarter view. Heijl is shown wearing a large, ruffly collar and dark robe. The engraving is notable for its detailed rendering of his face and the meticulous portrayal of his clothing. The inscription below the image, in German, reveals the subject’s title and career as a preacher. A small book rests in Heijl's right hand, hinting at his scholarly pursuits. This work is a fine example of 17th-century portrait engraving and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
