Portret van Joachim Maurits baron van Kropff 1786 - 1826

This 18th-century engraving by Hendrik Roosing is a portrait of Joachim Maurits baron van Kropff, depicted in profile. The subject is dressed in military attire, suggesting a career in the armed forces, and the artwork’s placement in the Rijksmuseum indicates its importance in Dutch art history. The use of black and white, a defining feature of engraving, creates a sense of gravitas and formality, typical of portraiture in this era.
