Portret van Laurens de Geer 1665

Theodor Matham, a Dutch engraver, created this portrait of Laurens de Geer in 1665, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. De Geer, depicted in an oval frame, wears a dark, finely-detailed doublet and a white collar. His long hair falls around his shoulders, framing a serious expression. Matham's engraving, using light and shadow for depth, effectively captures the sitter's likeness and social standing. The inscription "Laurens de Geer" in the lower right corner confirms the identity of the subject. This detailed artwork exemplifies the meticulous style of portraiture in the 17th century, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives and appearance of influential figures of the time.
