Portret van Georg Hauff 1620

This 1620 engraving by Lucas Kilian depicts Georg Hauff, a Carmelite preacher. The detailed portrait showcases Hauff in a somber pose, his hands resting on a book, with his face rendered in sharp detail. The inscription beneath the image highlights Hauff's title and profession, providing valuable biographical context. Kilian's use of fine lines and shading creates a realistic portrayal of Hauff, exemplifying the artist's skill in etching and his ability to capture individual likeness in a small format. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Kilian's talent and provides insight into the lives of individuals in 17th century Europe.
