This anonymous engraving from 1686 depicts twelve portraits of twenty-four ministers from Amsterdam who worked between 1681-1686. Each minister is identified by name and title in Latin beneath their portrait. Arranged in a grid formation, the image showcases a range of expressions and hairstyles, offering a glimpse into the religious leadership of 17th-century Amsterdam. The Dutch inscription at the top of the piece suggests this work may have been commissioned by the city's magistrate and was intended to honor the contributions of these ministers.
