This 1764 engraving by Jan l'Admiral, titled *Portretten van Joris Hoefnagel, Frans Francken en Hieronymus Francken*, depicts three Flemish Renaissance artists: Joris Hoefnagel, Frans Francken the Elder, and Hieronymus Francken the Elder. The engraving is a small, intimate portrait, measuring only 155 mm in height and 102 mm in width. It features three bust-length portraits of the artists, set against a backdrop of a painter's studio, with brushes, a palette, and other tools scattered across the surface. The portraits are rendered in a detailed, realistic style, capturing the likeness of each artist with precision. l'Admiral's work is known for its meticulous detail and precise rendering, a hallmark of the 18th-century Dutch tradition. This engraving provides valuable insight into the lives and artistic practices of these important Renaissance figures.
