This is a classical engraving or etching, featuring a figure wearing period clothing indicative of the Renaissance or Baroque era, with a prominent ruffled collar and voluminous sleeves. They are posed as if engaged in scholarly work next to books and documents that suggest a studious setting, perhaps a library or study room. The person is seated with one hand visible, resting on a document or book, which points to a literary or intellectual context. Below the figure, there is text that identifies the subject as "GERARDVS IOAN. VOSSIUS." Additional Latin text is present both beneath the name and in two columns below the image, which likely provides context or homage to the individual's contributions or status. The printmaker's credits are also given at the bottom of the illustration, indicating the artist ("Sandra pinxit") and the engraver ("A. Bloetling sculpsit"). Additionally, there is a phrase "C. BARLAEVS" at the very bottom, which may refer to another individual associated with the work, possibly the writer of the text or a dedicatory note. The artistry of the piece is detailed, showcasing the texture of the clothing and the nuanced shading that creates a three-dimensional effect.

This is a historical engraving or print from what appears to be the 17th century. The artwork shows a scholarly figure wearing typical Dutch Golden Age attire, including a large ruffled collar (known as a millstone ruff) and a dark academic robe. The subject is depicted in a study or library setting with an open book visible in the background. The engraving is done in a detailed cross-hatching style typical of the period. Below the portrait is text in Latin, including the title "GERARDUS IOAN. VOSSIUS" and what appears to be a verse. At the bottom, there are credits indicating "Sandra pinxit, A. Bloteling sculpsit" (painted by Sandra, engraved by Bloteling) and "C. BARLAEUS" who likely wrote the Latin verse. The artistic style and execution is characteristic of Dutch Golden Age portraiture, with careful attention to detail in the clothing textures and facial features. The composition places the subject in a three-quarter view, which was a common portraiture style of the period.

The image depicts a detailed engraving or etching portrait of a scholarly-looking man with a full beard and wavy hair. He is seated and wearing elaborate robes or clothing with ruffled collars and cuffs. The man appears to be holding a book or papers in his hands, suggesting he may be an author, philosopher or academic figure. Underneath the portrait is a Latin inscription that translates to English as follows: "Gerardus Ioan. Vossius, Come Palatine, lector, behold this visage, which you may have seen previously in his books. Lest the page deceive you, he looks ill. I confess it, along with the nights lately spent." The inscription identifies the man portrayed as Gerardus Ioan. Vossius and provides some additional details suggesting he was a well-known scholarly or literary figure of the time period when this portrait was made. The overall composition and Latin caption give the artwork the feeling of a distinguished, historical portrait print paying tribute to an esteemed individual.

The image is a portrait of a man, likely from the 17th or 18th century, based on the style of clothing and the engraving technique. The man is seated at a desk, with bookshelves visible in the background, suggesting a scholarly or academic setting. He is dressed in traditional attire, including a long robe and a distinctive lace collar, which was common in the period. The man has a beard and mustache, and his hair is styled in a manner typical of the time. He appears to be engaged in reading or writing, as there is an open book on the desk in front of him. His expression is serious and contemplative, fitting the scholarly atmosphere suggested by the setting. Below the portrait, there is a Latin inscription that reads: "GERARDVS IOAN. VOSSIVS." This likely refers to the name of the person depicted, Gerardus Johannes Vossius, a well-known Dutch classical scholar and theologian of the 17th century. The text beneath the portrait is also in Latin and seems to be a quote or a description of the individual. The Latin text reads: "Cerne Palatinc, lector, miracvla terre, Quem fvs havs vna perficit arte labor. Sufficit alta dies aliis, non svffcit illi. A solida fvditvs tempore nocte petit." This translates to: "Behold, reader, the wonders of the Palatine, Whom one art alone perfects with labor. A high day suffices for others, not for him. From a solid foundation, he seeks through the night." The text suggests that the person depicted was a scholar who dedicated himself to a single art or field of study with great labor and dedication, unlike others who might find satisfaction in a single day's work. The phrase "solida fvditvs tempore nocte petit" implies that he sought knowledge persistently, even through the night, indicating a relentless pursuit of learning. The engraving is signed by "C. BARLÆVS," which is likely the name of the artist who created the portrait. The image captures the essence of a dedicated scholar, immersed in his studies and surrounded by books, emphasizing the intellectual and academic nature of the subject.
