Portret van Hendrik Ravesteijn 1742

This engraving, titled *Portret van Hendrik Ravesteijn*, was created by Jacob Houbraken in 1742. Houbraken, a Dutch artist known for his engravings, depicts Hendrik Ravesteijn, a prominent figure from Rotterdam, in a formal portrait. Ravesteijn is shown in a three-quarter pose, dressed in a dark, collared coat and a white cravat. He is framed within an oval, inscribed with his name and birthplace. The engraving is notable for its detail and realism, typical of Houbraken's style. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned museum in Amsterdam.
