Portret van de predikant Jan Cornelis Sylvius c. 1774 - 1808

This small etching by Dutch artist Johan Antoni Kauclitz Colizzi (1742-1808) depicts a portrait of the clergyman Jan Cornelis Sylvius. The work, dated c. 1774-1808, features a close-up of Sylvius' face, rendered in a realistic style typical of the period. The subject is shown in an oval frame, emphasizing his importance, and is dressed in a simple but dignified robe, highlighting his position within the church. The work's small size suggests it might have been intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento or a gift for family or friends.
