Clement de Jonghe was born in Braunschweig in 1624 or 1625. From 1650 until his death in 1677 he lived in
Amsterdam, where he made his living as a publisher and dealer in prints and maps. He had a shop a 10 Kalverstraat.

The simple straight-forward pose, the direct stare and the strong and sparse composition in this etching make it a
trylu striking portrait. Some Rembrandt scholars believe that the knee-length format of this ork was inspired by two
of the great Venetian portraitists - Titian and Tintoretto. |
