Portret van Godefroid Hotton 1651

Abraham J. Conradus’ 1651 etching, *Portret van Godefroid Hotton*, depicts the French Reformed pastor Godefroid Hotton in a three-quarter view. The etching captures Hotton in a simple yet dignified pose, wearing a black gown and a black cap, his right hand resting on his chest. The inscription below the image provides biographical information about Hotton, detailing his role as a pastor in Amsterdam and his later service in other locations. The title *Verite en Charite* suggests the values Hotton represented, and the etching emphasizes the character of a respected and influential figure.
