Harmanus Perizonius van Eysen

Harmanus Perizonius van Eysen (1738-1801) was a Dutch sculptor known for his exquisite silverwork. His signature piece, a silver bust of an unknown gentleman, exemplifies his mastery of detail and refined craftsmanship. The bust is composed of three separate pieces - a head, bust, and a base, all cast in silver. The base is inscribed with the gentleman's name and a Latin inscription, hinting at his identity and importance. Van Eysen’s work is a testament to the artistry and technical sophistication of 18th-century Dutch silverwork.
