Portret van Gerardus Oorthuys 1783 - 1795

This 18th-century engraving by Reinier Vinkeles depicts Captain Gerardus Oorthuys in a circular frame, his head and shoulders facing forward with a serious expression. The inscription "De Kapitein G. Oorthuys" surrounds his image, making it clear that this is a portrait. It is one of many engravings Vinkeles created for the publication "Portret-Galerij, of afbeeldingen van Nederlandsche helden en andere bekende personen", which contained engravings of famous individuals. The work is in the Rijksmuseum, and its small dimensions suggest it was likely part of a larger collection.
