Robert van Voerst
Robert van Voerst (1597–1636) was a Dutch engraver.[1]
He studied under Crispin van de Passe. He arrived in England in 1628 and soon afterwards Charles I of England appointed him his royal engraver. He principally reproduced works by Anthony van Dyck, also active in the British court, who gave van Voerst the exclusive commission on reproducing his portraits.
