"Portret van Cornelis Visscher II" is an 1863 etching by Austrian artist Joseph Eduard Wessely (1826-1895). This print depicts Cornelis Visscher II in a three-quarter profile portrait, with his face angled slightly towards the viewer. Visscher is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a simple yet elegant garment, likely a doublet. The print's detail and composition are characteristic of the realism favored in 19th-century portraiture.
