This engraving, "Portret van Michael Falck" by Isaak Saal, depicts Michael Falck, likely a prominent figure in the 17th century. The portrait is rendered in a realistic style, with Falck shown in a three-quarter profile, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The use of an oval frame was a common practice for portraits of this era, emphasizing the subject's importance. The inscription on the right side of the frame indicates that Falck was likely a pastor, suggesting this is a devotional piece. This artwork is a rare example of Saal's work, offering a glimpse into the artistic culture of the Netherlands in the 17th century.
