Portret van Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert 1590

This engraving, created in 1590 by Christoffel van Sichem I, depicts Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert, a Dutch writer, poet, and humanist. The detailed lines of the engraving capture Coornhert's stern expression and his prominent beard, while his wide-brimmed hat adds a touch of gravitas. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a testament to the skill of 16th-century Dutch printmaking and provides a glimpse into the life of a significant figure in Dutch intellectual history.
