Groepsportret van de vier overlieden van de Handboogdoelen 1859

This 1859 engraving by Jean-Denis Nargeot, titled "Groepsportret van de vier overlieden van de Handboogdoelen," depicts a group of four men, likely officials, seated and standing in a formal setting. The scene is reminiscent of the "Group Portrait" genre popular during the Golden Age of Dutch painting. The men are dressed in period clothing, and the overall tone of the piece is serious and dignified. The engraving demonstrates Nargeot's skill in capturing details, like the men's clothing and the architectural elements of the setting. The inclusion of a dog adds a touch of realism and warmth to the composition, contrasting with the formality of the overall setting.
