Portret van Hadrianus Junius 1682

This engraving by Nicolas de Larmessin, created in 1682, depicts Hadrianus Junius, a prominent figure in the 16th century. The artwork showcases Junius in a seated pose, dressed in a fur-trimmed robe, engrossed in writing. The meticulous detail of his attire, the quill pen, and the inkwell suggests a focus on his intellectual pursuits. The composition and the inscription "Hadrianus Junius" emphasize the subject's identity and importance. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Larmessin's skill in capturing the essence of historical figures through the medium of printmaking.
