Portret van Petrus Camper 1783 - 1795

"Portret van Petrus Camper," a 1783 - 1795 engraving by Reinier Vinkeles, is a fine example of a portrait print. The artwork showcases the Dutch anatomist and physician Petrus Camper in a bust-length profile, framed by a decorative oval and a garland. Vinkeles, a well-known Dutch engraver, captured Camper's likeness with precision, emphasizing the subject's intellectual nature. This engraved portrait, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to both the artistic skill of Vinkeles and the prominence of Camper in the scientific circles of the late 18th century.
