This engraving by Dutch artist Martin Bernigeroth, dating from 1719-1733, is a portrait of Johann Wilhelm Janus. Janus is depicted in a simple, yet dignified pose, wearing a dark robe and white collar, suggesting his status as a theologian. The engraving is a fine example of the portraiture popular during the Baroque period, known for its meticulous detail and realistic depictions of individuals. The portrait is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
