Godefridus Bidloo med doct.r et chirurgus ... G. Lairesse pinx. A. Blooteling sculp. Below the portrait, four engraved lines of Latin verse in which Jan Six decalares that, just as the golden sun follows the gentle dawn, so Bidloo follows the great Vesalius: Naturae artificis dum munera plurima Bidloo / Monstrat, et egregia dexteritate probat, / Auroram qualis sequitur sol aureus almam, / Sic magnum sequitur lumine Vesalium. J. Six.
