Portret van Johan Gosewijn Eberhard Alstein 1731 - 1748

This etching, "Portret van Johan Gosewijn Eberhard Alstein" by Philippus Endlich, dates from 1731-1748. Endlich was a Dutch artist whose work often featured portraits of prominent individuals, such as this one of Johan Gosewijn Eberhard Alstein. The etching captures Alstein in a formal portrait, wearing a dark coat and a white collar, set within an oval frame and resting on a pedestal. This type of work was common in the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the life and status of a prominent individual. The etching, now held in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the skill of Philippus Endlich and his contribution to the art of portraiture.
