Portret van Mohammed 1701

This etching by Romeyn de Hooghe, titled "Portret van Mohammed," depicts the Islamic prophet Muhammad in a dynamic pose. Created in 1701, the artwork showcases de Hooghe's mastery of detail, capturing Muhammad's features, his elaborate turban, and the landscape behind him. The inscription "MANOMETEN" at the bottom clearly identifies the subject, highlighting the artwork's historical significance and its role in representing a key figure in Islamic history. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the early 18th century.
