Portret van Frans van Mieris (I) 1665 - 1738

Carel de Moor's etching, *Portret van Frans van Mieris (I)*, captures the likeness of the renowned Dutch Golden Age painter Frans van Mieris the Elder. The etching, created between 1665 and 1738, shows Frans van Mieris standing against a pillar with a cityscape in the background. His clothing is richly detailed, with a voluminous fur-lined coat. De Moor's use of hatching and cross-hatching create a sense of depth and texture in the figure, making the engraving a testament to his skill in the art of printmaking. This etching is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
