This anonymous etching, titled "Portrait of Daniel Van Heil," depicts two men standing side-by-side. The figure on the left, likely Van Heil, is wearing a long, flowing cloak, a hat, and appears to be holding a small, round object in his hands. The figure on the right also wears a long cloak and a hat. The etching is small, measuring only 5 3/8 × 4 1/4 inches. Despite its small size, the work is quite detailed and expressive, capturing the distinct features of the two men. This portrait offers a glimpse into the clothing and style of the 17th century in the Netherlands, where it was likely created. The etching is now part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
