Portret van Guillaume Delisle 1784 - 1834

This engraving, created by Konrad Westermayr in 1834, is a portrait of Guillaume de l’Isle, a French cartographer and geographer. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts de l’Isle in an oval frame, a common feature of portraiture during this period. The engraving's sharp lines and detailed depiction of de l’Isle's features, particularly his voluminous wig and expression, showcase Westermayr's skill in capturing the essence of his subject. The inscription below the portrait provides additional context, identifying de l’Isle and listing his birth and death dates, making this an informative and historically significant piece.
