Portret van aartsvader Jakob Possibly 1617 - 1665

"Portret van aartsvader Jakob" is a portrait of the biblical patriarch Jacob by Salomon Savery, dating back to the 17th century. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts Jacob in a close-up view, his long, white beard and furrowed brow hinting at his age and wisdom. Savery's use of etching and engraving captures the depth and texture of Jacob's features, creating a realistic and evocative depiction of the biblical figure.
