Regenten van het Leprozenhuis in Amsterdam 1769

"Regenten van het Leprozenhuis in Amsterdam" (1769) by Reinier Vinkeles depicts a group of regents, or governing members, of the Leprozenhuis, a leper hospital in Amsterdam. The etching, held at the Rijksmuseum, portrays the regents seated around a table, with a young boy standing nearby. The work, characteristic of Vinkeles's style, is a detailed and realistic portrayal of the regents, capturing their individual personalities and the somber atmosphere of their meeting. The work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age tradition of portraiture and social commentary.
