Portret van kunstenaar Gerard van Honthorst Possibly 1677 - 1732

This etching by Italian artist Cosimo Mogalli is a portrait of Dutch Baroque painter Gerard van Honthorst, also known as "Gherardo delle Notte" (Gerard of the Night). The portrait depicts van Honthorst in a three-quarter view, holding a palette and brushes in his left hand, likely an attribute of his profession. The artist’s signature "C.Mogalli" is inscribed in the bottom right corner, and the print is dated 1712. The etching was likely part of a series of portraits dedicated to Italian and Northern artists.
