Portrait of Jan Luyken

Portrait of the printmaker, painter and poet Jan Luyken. Above the oval with the portrait a putto holds a laurel wreath. Other putti carry a cross, censer or burning hearts. On the ground lies a globe around which reading children stand, who are distracted by a figure with a winged cap, possibly Mercury. He lets sunlight fall through a magnifying glass onto the scene below him. On the ground lie drawing and painting supplies and books. A woman with a scroll in her hand points to the portrait. On the pedestal an open cartouche.
