Portret van Casper Vreedenberg c. 1789 - 1822

This engraving by Dutch artist Jan Willem Caspari depicts Casper Vreedenberg, likely a prominent figure of the time, in a portrait format. The image, created between 1789 and 1822, shows Vreedenberg in a formal pose, wearing a dark coat and a white cravat, against a simple background. The oval frame highlights the subject, emphasizing his features and attire, typical of portraiture during the Neoclassical era. The work is a fine example of Caspari's skill in capturing likeness and conveying a sense of dignity within a simple composition. This portrait, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides a glimpse into the life and style of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
