Matham, a member of a prominent family of engravers, employs a disciplined approach to line work, using varied cross-hatching to define the texture of the subject's clothing and the subtle contours of his face. The portrait follows the conventions of the period, presenting the sitter in a bust-length format against a simplified architectural background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition includes a cartouche in the upper right corner, which provides biographical details regarding the sitter, including his age and status. Below the portrait, a Latin and Dutch inscription further contextualises the subject, a common feature in commemorative prints of the era. The attention to the sitter's expression, marked by a calm and observant gaze, reflects the focus on individual character that defined Dutch portraiture during this time. The use of light and shadow is controlled, creating a sense of volume without relying on excessive ornamentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a fine art print, this work offers a clear view into the graphic traditions of the Dutch Golden Age. The clarity of the lines and the balanced composition make it a study in the formal portraiture of the time. The print serves as a record of a specific historical figure, rendered with the technical rigour that Matham brought to his copperplate engravings. This piece is suitable for those interested in the history of printmaking or the visual culture of the seventeenth-century Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/holy-family-with-the-cat-cornelis-cort\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHoly Family with the Cat - Cornelis Cort — Cornelis Cort\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/david-fleeing-from-absalom-aegidius-sadeler-ii\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDavid Fleeing from Absalom - Aegidius Sadeler (II) — Aegidius Sadeler (II)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Theodor Matham","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480139534671,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480152019279,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480152052047,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480152084815,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480152117583,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480152150351,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480152183119,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480152215887,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480152248655,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480152281423,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480152314191,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480152346959,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-Jacobus-Vligerus_Poster_CompositorV1_1786347969593.jpg?v=1786768324","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portret-van-jacobus-vligerus-theodor-matham","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
