Portret van Pierre Boquin c. 1588 - 1622

This engraving, "Portret van Pierre Boquin" by Jacques Granthomme, depicts Pierre Boquin in profile. The portrait is framed by an elaborate oval with the subject's name and a Latin inscription. The inscription is a poem that praises Boquin's military achievements, likely referring to his role in the Eighty Years' War. This small engraving, measuring only 134 mm by 81 mm, is a fine example of Dutch portraiture during the Golden Age. The work is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
