Portret van Barthelemi Giavarina 1700

This etching, created in 1700 by Pierre François Giffart, depicts Barthelemi Giavarina. The artwork showcases a classical approach to portraiture, placing Giavarina within an architectural frame. The detail in the architectural elements, including the sculpted urn and decorative molding, adds depth and realism to the image. The inscription below Giavarina offers insight into his life and achievements, further enriching this historical portrait. This artwork is a prime example of 18th-century printmaking and portraiture, now held in the Rijksmuseum.
