"Portret van Timan van Gessel" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Edelinck, created between 1658 and 1680. The artwork depicts a bust-length portrait of Timan van Gessel, a Dutch physician, seated in a room. Van Gessel is shown wearing a dark robe and a white collar. The image is enclosed in an oval frame, decorated with a snake entwined around a staff. An inscription at the bottom, written in Dutch, praises Van Gessel for his medical skills. This engraving demonstrates Edelinck's skill in depicting detail and texture. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the image and creates a realistic portrait of the subject.
