Portretten van Roelant Savery, Frans Snijders en Theodoor Rombouts 1708 - 1780

This is a red chalk drawing by Jacob Houbraken, a Dutch artist known for his portraits. The artwork, created between 1708 and 1780, features the portraits of three artists: Roelant Savery, Frans Snijders, and Theodoor Rombouts. Houbraken depicts each artist's likeness within an oval or rectangular frame, creating a visual representation of their artistic legacy. The inclusion of a cherub, an angel-like figure, adds a symbolic layer to the composition, suggesting a celebration of artistic talent and achievement. The Rijksmuseum's collection houses this artwork, providing art lovers an insight into Houbraken's artistic style and the artistic community of the Netherlands during the 18th century.
