Portret van een onbekende man 1767 - 1850

This 18th-century engraving by Leonhard Heinrich Hessell depicts an unknown man in profile. The man's face and hair are rendered in detail, while the background is left plain. The inscription at the bottom indicates that the work was "drawn and engraved" by Hessell. This type of portrait engraving was popular in the 18th century, as it allowed for the reproduction of images at a relatively low cost. The work is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
