Portret van Pieter Langendijk 1751

"Portret van Pieter Langendijk" is an engraving by Jacob Houbraken, created in 1751. The artwork depicts Pieter Langendijk, a Dutch poet, in a bust-length portrait holding a book. The engraving is notable for its realistic depiction of Langendijk's features and the detailed rendering of the book, which is likely a volume of his own poetry. This engraving is a testament to Houbraken's skill as a portraitist, and it offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in Dutch literature. The work is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
