Portret van Matheus van Heyningen Bosch 1821 - 1836

This engraving by Philippus Velijn depicts Matheus van Heyningen Bosch, a Dutch artist, seated at a desk in a formal pose. The print is a fine example of portraiture from the early 19th century. Velijn, known for his engravings, captures Bosch in detail, emphasizing the subject's features and clothing. The print, created between 1821 and 1836, is housed in the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into the life of a Dutch artist during this period. The artwork's intimate scale and realistic style make it a compelling study of both artist and sitter.
