Portret van le seigneur Agnoste c. 1710 - 1764

François Harrewijn's "Portret van le seigneur Agnoste" is an engraving depicting a man in profile, framed within an oval. The man is identified as "le seigneur Agnoste," which is the title of the work, and the inscription below the portrait suggests he is a satirist. The engraving, which was created between 1710 and 1764, is a fine example of the portraiture style of the 18th century. The precise subject of this engraving remains elusive, as the name "Agnoste" is not widely known. Despite the lack of information about the sitter, the work is a compelling example of Harrewijn's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject.
