Portret van Petrus Faassen de Heer 1799

This 1799 portrait of Petrus Faassen de Heer, an anonymous work, depicts the subject in an oval frame, positioned against a plain background. He appears to be a minister, as the inscription below his portrait reads, "Predikant te Scheveningen." This engraving captures a formal and traditional approach to portraiture, with a focus on the subject's likeness and identity. The use of an oval frame emphasizes the subject's importance, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of the late 18th century.
