Portret van Koenraad Hovens 1786 - 1809

This engraving, "Portret van Koenraad Hovens," is a portrait of Koenraad Hovens, created by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles between 1786 and 1809. It depicts Hovens in an oval frame, with a detailed focus on his face and hair, suggesting a formal portrait intended to capture his likeness. The engraving's subtle shading and detail are characteristic of Vinkeles' style, who was renowned for his portraiture and engravings. This piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic practices and cultural trends of the late 18th century.
