Portret van bisschop George van Egmond van Utrecht 1681 - 1726

This engraving by François van Bleyswijck, created between 1681 and 1726, depicts George van Egmond, Bishop of Utrecht. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum and portrays the bishop in a formal pose, seated at a desk, pen in hand. The etching style of the engraving gives it a detailed, yet somewhat austere aesthetic. The inscription beneath the oval portrait provides information about the Bishop, including his date of death and age. This piece is a significant example of portraiture during the Baroque period, showcasing the artistic skill of van Bleyswijck in capturing the likeness and dignity of the subject.
