Portretten van Frans Badens, Adriaen de Vries en Jan Antonisz. van Ravesteyn 1764

This 1764 engraving by Jan l'Admiral features portraits of three important figures: Frans Badens, Adriaen de Vries, and Jan Antonisz. van Ravesteyn. The three men are depicted in oval frames, with a decorative curtain above them. The engraving is executed in a detailed, realistic style, capturing the likeness of the individuals with precision. The use of etching, a technique that creates fine lines and textures, brings a sense of depth and dimension to the work. This piece is an excellent example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture and a valuable record of these influential figures.
