Portret van Cornelis Schut (I) 1630 - 1646

This etching, created between 1630 and 1646 by Lucas Vorsterman I, depicts Cornelis Schut (I), a prominent Flemish painter. The portrait showcases Schut in a three-quarter view, his face turned slightly to the right. He wears a black doublet and a white collar, and a large, flowing robe draped over his shoulders. The careful detail in the etching captures the sitter's distinctive mustache and the intricate folds of his clothing, demonstrating Vorsterman's mastery of this medium. This work is an example of the rich tradition of portraiture in 17th-century Dutch art. The Rijksmuseum, where the artwork is currently located, houses an impressive collection of Dutch art, including this captivating portrait.
