Portret van Johann Jacob Visscher 1672 - 1717

This 18th-century engraving by Johann Adam Seupel portrays Johann Jacob Visscher, a prominent figure in Dutch history. The work is a fine example of portraiture from the period, featuring a realistic depiction of Visscher in an oval frame, emphasizing his social status. His formal attire and powdered wig reflect the fashion of the time. The inscription surrounding the oval, likely a dedication, provides biographical information about Visscher. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the visual culture and social hierarchies of 18th-century Netherlands.
