Silhouetportret van Petrus Haack 1765 - 1837

This silhouette portrait of Petrus Haack, created by Antoni Zürcher, is a small work (95mm x 42mm) held in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork showcases Haack, identified as a "Professor, en Predikant" (professor and preacher) in Amsterdam, in a simple silhouette style. The black and white rendering highlights his powdered wig and the shape of his figure, a common technique of the 18th and 19th centuries. The piece is a small but significant record of a notable figure in Dutch history.
