Portret van Johannes Cristianus Vorstman 1784 - 1822

This print, "Portret van Johannes Cristianus Vorstman" by Jacob Ernst Marcus, depicts Johannes Cristianus Vorstman, likely a prominent individual of the time, in a formal portrait. The artwork, created between 1784 and 1822, showcases Marcus' skill in capturing likeness and detail, presenting Vorstman in a dignified pose, emphasizing his status and presence. The use of an oval frame, typical of portraiture, further draws attention to the subject. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the style of portrait prints popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
