Portret van Leonardus Kuytenbrouwer 1789 - 1822

This is a portrait engraving of Leonardus Kuytenbrouwer, a Roman Catholic priest from the 18th and 19th centuries, created by the Dutch artist Jan Willem Caspari between 1789 and 1822. The engraving is housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter profile, wearing a black cassock, seated in a chair against a backdrop of a bookshelf. This artwork is a fine example of the engraving technique that was popular during the period. The detail of the lines and the shading create a realistic and evocative image.
