Nicolaes van Lijnhoven (c. 1610–bef. 1702)
Born at Haarlem, Van Lijnhoven was a printmaker and draughtsman active
in Haarlem, where he lived, and also in Paris. Little is known about
this artist, and only a small number of engravings by him exist. These
are executed in a sharp and spirited manner, with some being humorous,
and with a degree of vulgarity. He worked on landscapes and equestrian
subjects, and engravings after pictures by other artists, including
a series of farmers and peasants.
