This 1764 engraving by Dutch artist Jan l'Admiral, titled "Portretten van Jan Swart van Groningen en Jacob Janszen", features two separate portraits within a single frame. The top portrait depicts Jan Swart van Groningen, with a fur-trimmed hat and a serious expression. Below, Jacob Janszen is shown in a more casual setting, with a simple collar and a slight smile. The use of engraving, with its fine lines and delicate shading, allowed l'Admiral to achieve realistic detail in the subjects' features and clothing. This work offers insight into the lives of two notable figures from 18th-century Dutch society.
