Portretten van Hendrik Soukens, Roukens en Frans van Eynden 1757 - 1819

This etching by Roeland van Eynden (1747-1819) features a portrait of the artist himself. The composition is quite complex, presenting a self-portrait within an oval frame. This frame rests on top of a still life featuring other artworks, books, and art supplies. The artist, depicted holding a paintbrush, is surrounded by the tools of his trade, showcasing his dedication to his craft. This work, created between 1757 and 1819, is an example of Roeland's skill in both portraiture and still life. It's a testament to his artistic journey, offering a glimpse into the world of a painter.
