This 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Jacob Matham depicts H. Theodorus van der Eem. The portrait is a small, intimate work, only 99mm by 59mm, focusing on the subject's face and upper torso. The subject's expression, while calm, suggests deep thought. His plain attire, likely a simple robe, points to his status as a religious figure. The inscription below the image includes biographical details of van der Eem, reinforcing the portrait's historical and biographical significance.
