Gysbrecht, Heer van Batenburg, PA07268

The subject is shown in a three-quarter view wearing a high pleated ruff and a patterned doublet with visible buttoning. The engraving style uses fine cross-hatching to define texture and volume, typical of the late Mannerist influence on Dutch portraiture. The image is set above a formal pedestal containing the title and attribution text.

This portrait documents a figure from the Dutch Revolt, designed by Hendrick Goltzius, a pivotal artist in the Haarlem Mannerist circle. Goltzius was a key figure in the intellectual and artistic culture of the late 16th century, often blending technical virtuosity with the philosophical interests of the Northern humanist tradition.
