About this work

This print shows a portrait of Mr. Mynheer Wybrand Lolkes and his wife. The portrait is part of a collection called Men in Miniature. It's interesting that this print is etched, which means it was made by scratching a design into a metal plate. The level of detail in the portrait suggests a careful technique, similar to those used in works that utilize chiaroscuro.
