Cornelis Visscher’s 1649 etching, *Jan van der Does, from Quatuor Personae*, is a portrait of a Dutch nobleman. The print depicts van der Does, dressed in armor, standing with his right hand on the hilt of a sword and his left hand resting on a book. The detailed etching captures the sitter's stoic expression and the intricate details of his armor and clothing. This work is part of a series of four portraits, showcasing the diversity of Visscher's talent and the richness of Dutch portraiture.
