Portret van Paulus Steenwinkel 1670 - 1724

This etching by Jacob Gole, a Dutch artist active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, depicts Paulus Steenwinkel, a prominent preacher in Amsterdam. Created between 1670 and 1724, the portrait showcases Steenwinkel in a formal pose, with his long, curly wig, and a serious expression. The detailed rendering of his clothing, especially the folds of his gown, exemplifies the meticulous approach to portraiture characteristic of this period. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale work offers a glimpse into the life and status of an influential figure of the Dutch Golden Age.
