Portretten van Hendrik van Limborch, Coenraet Roepel en Gerhard Jan Palthe 1750

This etching, created by Dutch artist Pieter Tanjé in 1750, portrays three prominent figures: Hendrik van Limborch, Coenraet Roepel, and Gerard Jan Palthe. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of portraiture from the 18th century. It showcases the detail and precision of Tanjé's technique, capturing the likenesses of his subjects with a realistic and compelling approach. The composition features the three men arranged in a symmetrical composition, with each individual's face prominently displayed. The inclusion of a palette and brushes suggests the subjects may have been artists themselves, adding another layer of intrigue to this historical etching.
