Vignet met de personificatie van Lijdzaamheid 1723 - 1767

Jacob Folkema’s “Vignet met de personificatie van Lijdzaamheid” (1723–1767) is a detailed engraving depicting the personification of patience, a female figure standing within an oval frame. The frame is adorned with floral motifs and rests upon a decorative base, creating a sense of grandeur and symbolic significance. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an excellent example of Folkema’s intricate style and his expertise in capturing allegorical figures within decorative settings.
