  • Engraved Portrait of Demosthenes, Bust, after ancient sculpture, with name in Greek, engraved by Michael Burghers [1647/8-1727].

Engraving, possibly from 'Aischimnou Ho peri stephenou logos',

This would appear to be based on a 1638 engraving by Jan Witdoeck [1615-1642 after] after a drawing by Rubens of a marble sculpture which belonged to Nicolaas Rockox until his death in 1640. The sculpture is now in the National Museum of Stockholm.
