This 1690 engraving by Johann Georg Göbel, titled "Portret van Andreas Reyher," depicts Andreas Reyher, a prominent 17th-century physician, philosopher and theologian. The portrait is a bust-length image, with Reyher shown wearing a dark coat and a lace collar. The engraved inscription around his portrait provides details about Reyher's titles and qualifications. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the detailed, realist portraiture prevalent in 17th-century art.
