Portret van IJsbrand van Hamelsveld 1783 - 1795

"Portret van IJsbrand van Hamelsveld" is a portrait engraving created between 1783 and 1795 by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles. The engraving features a bust portrait of IJsbrand van Hamelsveld, framed by a decorative oval, within a larger rectangular frame. The inclusion of books and a quill pen in the lower frame allude to the sitter's profession as a professor. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Vinkeles' skill in capturing the details of his sitter's features and the fine lines of the engraving, which was a popular technique in 18th-century portraiture.
