Johannes Hoornbeeck is a 1651 ink by Jonas Suyderhoff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait etching presents a man in a dark robe with a white collar, holding a book in his left hand. The man's hair is dark and curly, and he has a mustache. The background of the etching is a light brown color with darker brown lines. The man's attire and the style of the etching suggest that it was created during the Baroque period. The level of detail in the etching, particularly in the man's face and clothing, indicates a high level of skill on the part of the artist. The artist's use of etching techniques to create this portrait is noteworthy. To learn more about the artist's work, look up Suyderhoff, Jonas.
