Jan van de Velde II
Jan van de Velde II belongs to the Dutch Golden Age tradition of printmaking, working chiefly as an engraver whose precise burin lines served portraiture and the reproduction of designs by others. His prints reflect the period's thriving market for finely cut, small-format images circulated widely across the Dutch Republic. The archive holds a single sheet by him, an engraving, namely the Portrait of Peter Scriverius. This modest holding represents his engraving output without offering a broader survey of his printed oeuvre.
