Johannes Hoornbeeck is a 1651 ink by Jonas Suyderhoff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in 17th-century clothes. He’s holding a book in one hand and gesturing with the other, like he’s explaining something. His collar is stiff and white, and his dark coat has buttons down the front. The name below reads *Johannes Hoornbeeck*, with titles like "Doctor of Theology" and "Professor." That suggests he was a scholar or teacher. If you like this style, check out the technique: engraving.
Jonas Suyderhoff (1613–1686) was a Dutch artist, born in Leiden.
