Coeberghe was an architect, painter, and engraver. He is seen here in portrait from the waist up. He leans on a colomn with his right arm and looks out at the viewer. He wears a skullcap and a long jacket. This is from the Gillis Hendricx edition of the Iconography (Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis Numero Centum), 1632-44.
This scene from an interior of a church is set underneath multiple arches. Several figures shown in the shadows of the architecture are in prayer. A family stands illuminated in the background as the look upon an image of Mother Mary and the Christ child.
Portrait of Mary Darby Robinson, half-length in a fictive oval frame, directed to the left but looking forward, with highly dressed hair topped by a bonnet, and both hands in a muff; after painted portrait by Romney.
In the foreground is a wooded area with several figures engaged in activity. Beyond the woods is a village with a steepled church in the center.
