This engraving, created before 1677, is a portrait of Adam Pastor van Dorphen by the Flemish artist Christoffel van Sichem I (1546-1624). It is a small work, measuring just 159 mm in height and 124 mm in width. The image depicts Pastor van Dorphen in a three-quarter profile, with his right hand raised in a gesture of address, and his left hand resting on a ledge. He is wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a doublet, and has a long beard. The engraving is characterized by its detailed lines and shading, creating a sense of realism. It is a significant work in the history of portraiture, and is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
