Portret van Johannes Wolf 1597 - 1599

This engraving, "Portret van Johannes Wolf", was created by Robert Boissard between 1597 and 1599. It is a portrait of Johannes Wolf, a theologian and philosopher, depicted in profile against a backdrop of ornate columns and an arched frame. The image captures Wolf holding a book, with writing implements and an inkwell resting on a table in the foreground. The detail and fine lines of the engraving are characteristic of Boissard's work. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an important historical document and an example of the artistry of the 16th century.
