Portret van John Tillotson 1741 - 1743

Jacob Houbraken's "Portret van John Tillotson" (1741-1743) is an engraving depicting the English clergyman John Tillotson. Houbraken, a renowned Dutch engraver, employed meticulous detail in rendering Tillotson's likeness, capturing his dignified expression and clerical attire. The composition features Tillotson's portrait framed within an ornate oval, and is further emphasized by the presence of two cherubic figures below. Houbraken's mastery of linework and shading contribute to the artwork's sense of depth and realism. This print, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in 17th century English religious history.
