"Portret van Christoffel van Swol, gouverneur-generaal van Nederlands-Indië" is an etching by Dutch artist Dirk Jongman. This portrait, created between 1709 and 1726, depicts Christoffel van Swol, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. Van Swol is portrayed in a formal pose, holding a rolled document, likely representing his official duties. The etching's detailed rendering of his attire, particularly the lace collar and patterned coat, reflects the fashion of the period. The inclusion of a coat of arms at the bottom further emphasizes Van Swol's position of power and authority.
