Portret van Willem de Koning 1782

"Portret van Willem de Koning" is an engraving created in 1782 by Pieter Willem van Megen. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts Willem de Koning, a prominent Dutch preacher, in a formal portrait style. De Koning is portrayed in a three-quarter view, wearing a dark suit and a white clerical collar, with a book resting on a table before him. This portrait, created by van Megen just three years before his own death, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and dignity of his subject.
