Portret van Nathanael Falck 1693 - 1704

This etching by Leonhard Heckenauer, dated 1693-1704, depicts Nathanael Falck, a theologian and scholar. Falck is presented in an oval frame, his face rendered with subtle detail, emphasizing his seriousness and intellect. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Heckenauer's skill in capturing likeness and conveying character through fine lines and delicate shading. This piece, a prime example of 17th-century portraiture, is a testament to the artistry of the time and its focus on celebrating individuals who shaped the intellectual landscape.
