Portret van Jan Trip 1708 - 1780

Jacob Houbraken’s "Portret van Jan Trip" is a 1708 engraving of Jan Trip, a Dutch merchant and politician. The engraving depicts Trip in a formal pose, seated in a chair with a prominent wig. The composition includes two allegorical figures, a female figure representing Fame holding a staff and a male figure representing Justice holding a scale. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This engraving is a good example of Houbraken’s skill in creating detailed and realistic portraits.
