This 1602 engraving by Jacob Matham depicts Vincent Jacobsz. Coster, holding a glass of wine and wearing a ruff collar. The portrait is set within a decorative frame adorned with figures representing Justice, Fortune, and Time, reflecting the theme of mortality. The inscription below includes a poetic inscription that alludes to the transience of life, a common theme in Dutch Golden Age portraiture. This artwork, now held at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Matham's mastery of etching, a technique that allowed for detailed and nuanced representation.
