This engraving by Vitus Jeremias Vockerot, dating from 1796-1871, is a portrait of Karel Lodewijk Johan, the governor of the Southern Netherlands. The image depicts a bust-length profile view of the subject, with his head turned to the left, set within a circular frame with a double border. Vockerot used a simple, clear, and detailed style to capture the likeness of the governor, likely intended for use in a historical or biographical text. The engraving's small size, measuring 136 mm in height and 108 mm in width, suggests it was designed for personal collections or as an illustration in a book.
