Reproductie van een ets van een portret van Jan Brueghel (I) door Anthony van Dyck before 1877

This reproduction of an etching by Anthony van Dyck depicting Jan Brueghel the Elder was created by Belgian artist Joseph Maes before 1877. Maes, born in 1838 and known for his detailed and expressive etchings, captured the likeness of Brueghel, a renowned Flemish painter. The image portrays Brueghel in a somber yet dignified pose, emphasizing his prominent beard and ruff collar. This reproduction showcases the skillful use of light and shadow in etching, a popular technique for capturing detail and texture in the late 19th century.
