About this work

You see a detailed drawing of a person with a dignified face and penetrating eyes. The inscription on the drawing tells us about Simon Eikelenberg's life. It says he was born in Alkmaar in 1663 and died there in 1738. This gives us a glimpse into his background. The drawing skills shown here are similar to those used in the technique of cross-hatching.
