Bust of Jacob Willemsen

anonymous, 1774

Joannes de Mol had this portrait of his teacher Willemsen made in the German city of Schretzheim, after an engraving by Reinier Vinkeles. He did this with a specific goal in mind, namely to test the skills of the porcelain worker who was seeking employment at the Loosdrecht factory.
