Portret van Scévole de Sainte-Marthe 1666 - 1707

This engraving, "Portret van Scévole de Sainte-Marthe," was created by Gérard Edelinck between 1666 and 1707. It depicts a portrait of Scévole de Sainte-Marthe, a French official, in an oval frame, with his coat of arms in the lower center and a caption below. The portrait is a classic example of Baroque art, characterized by dramatic lighting, detailed rendering, and the use of an oval frame to create a sense of depth and grandeur. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Edelinck's skill as a master engraver and provides a valuable insight into the art and fashion of the 17th century.
