Reproductie van een gravure van een portret van Simon de Vos door Paulus Pontius before 1877

This reproduction of a 17th-century engraving by Paulus Pontius, depicting Simon de Vos, is a work by Belgian artist Joseph Maes. It is a black and white print, reproducing the original engraving in detail. Maes’ careful reproduction captures the likeness of Simon de Vos, a Flemish painter known for his portraits and genre scenes. This reproduction, a small print measuring 120 mm in height and 86 mm in width, is likely a study for a larger work, demonstrating Maes' mastery of the printmaking technique.
