"Beeld van een man in toga" is an engraving by Cornelis Galle I from 1608. The artwork depicts three figures in togas, likely Roman statues, shown from different angles. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner. The print is a valuable record of classical sculpture and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The meticulous details of the folds in the togas and the expressive faces demonstrate Galle's skill in engraving, a technique widely used for reproducing artworks in the 17th century. This print would have been appreciated by a variety of audiences, from art collectors to scholars interested in classical history and aesthetics.
