About this work

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.
