Portret van Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille l'Ancien 1660

Etienne Picart's 1660 engraving, "Portret van Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille l'Ancien," depicts a detailed bust portrait of Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille. The work is characterized by its fine lines and meticulous shading, typical of the Baroque era. D'Aigrefeuille, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, is shown in his Cardinal's robes, with a stern expression and a long, flowing beard. The use of an oval frame adds a sense of formality and solemnity to the portrait, making it a fitting tribute to a respected religious leader. The portrait's small size suggests it was intended for personal use or private collections, highlighting its intimate nature.
