Reproductie van een gravure van een portret van Adam Willaerts door Franciscus van der Steen before 1877

Joseph Maes, a Belgian artist known for his work in the late 19th century, created this reproduction of a portrait engraving of Adam Willaerts. The engraving, likely produced before 1877, depicts Willaerts in a seated pose, facing the viewer. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Willaerts's clothing and facial features. This work is a testament to Maes's skill in replicating the style and technique of earlier artists. The reproduction, measuring 119 mm by 89 mm, showcases the artistry of both the original engraver and Maes's ability to capture its essence. The inclusion of Willaerts's name and dates of life, along with the artist's signature "J. Maes", adds historical context to this intriguing piece.
