Portret van Johan Evertsen before 1669

This engraving by Arnold de Jode, created before 1669, depicts Johan Evertsen, a Dutch admiral, in a formal portrait. The image shows Evertsen standing with a staff in his hand, dressed in his military uniform, and against a backdrop of a seascape. The artwork is framed by a wreath of leaves, and at the base, there is a pedestal with the inscription of Evertsen’s titles and a coat of arms. De Jode’s work demonstrates the Baroque style of the 17th century, with a focus on realistic detail and elaborate ornamentation, making the engraving an important piece of Dutch history and portraiture.
