Portret van Henri de Mesmes heer van Roissy 1600 - 1667

This 17th-century etching by Michel Lasne, a French artist known for his portraits, depicts Henri de Mesmes, lord of Roissy. The work is a striking example of the realistic style prevalent during this period. De Mesmes is portrayed with a serious expression, dressed in a finely detailed, elegant garment of the time. The precise detailing of the collar, the sharp lines of his facial features, and the subtle textures of the clothing demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship of the artist. The inscription below the image is a testament to de Mesmes's character and accomplishments. The engraving is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in the Netherlands, offering a glimpse into the lives of notable figures from this era.
