Dominicus Custos's "Portret van de jurist Georg Tradel" is a small-scale engraving of a portrait of the jurist Georg Tradel. Created after 1599, the image is a bust-length portrait of the subject, framed by a decorative oval. The inscription surrounding the portrait identifies the subject and includes the Latin "REIP", likely referencing the man's civic position. This ornate image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a good example of the engraved portraiture that was popular during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
