Note:	Jacobus Houbraken: A famous portrait engraver, Jacobus Houbraken first studied and apprenticed under his father, Arnold Houbraken (1660-1719), a well respected engraver in his own right. The younger Houbraken quickly evolved a technique which shared some affinity with the portrait engravings of the great seventeenth century French school, most notably those of Nanteuil, Drevet and Edelinck. For the English speaking world, Houbraken's name is most closely linked to the massive project entitled, Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain, published in parts in London from 1743 to 1752. Working with the historian and artist, George Vertue, Houbraken engraved most of the important representations of Britain's most noted men from the past.
	Jacobus Houbraken's greatest portraits, however, were his engravings based upon capturing the likenesses of his contemporaries. Here we see his precise and subtle use of the engraved line to its best advantage. These skills amazed most of Houbraken's fellow artists. A generation later, the famous Italian engraver, Raphael Morghen, remarked, "No engraver has ever equaled, and probably will not equal, the Dutchman Jacobus Houbraken, in the manner of imitating the flesh and the hair by means of the graver."
	Caspar Netscher: Houbraken's portrait of Mr. Pieter de Huybert is an original engraving printed and published in Amsterdam around 1750. It is based upon a portrait painted by Caspar Netscher in 1683. Caspar Netscher (Dutch, 1639-1684), also listed as Gaspar Netscher was a 17th century Baroque era painter from the Dutch Golden Age. He was best known for his portraits, genre, religious and mythological subjects. Today his paintings can be found in the National Gallery, London, the Louvre, Paris, the Hermitage Museum, Russia, the National Portrait Gallery, London, UK and other major public and private institutions. A proof impression before letters of this original engraving is included in the permanent collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum (Accession Number P.7544-R).
