Portretten van Adriaan van der Burg, Cornelis Greenwood en Aert Schouman 1751

This engraving by Dutch artist Pieter Tanjé, created in 1751, depicts three portraits: Adriaan van der Burg, Cornelis Greenwood, and Aert Schouman. The work is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture and is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum. Tanjé uses a simple composition, arranging the portraits in a vertical line with subtle details like a drapery, a book, and a decorative scroll to accentuate the subjects’ faces and create a sense of depth. These portraits highlight Tanjé’s talent for capturing the likeness of his subjects, and the engraving’s small size makes it suitable for private collections or study.
