Portret van Karel de Longueval 1628 - 1670

This engraving by Pieter de (II) Jode, created between 1628 and 1670, depicts Karel de Longueval, Count of Buquoy. The portrait showcases de Longueval in an oval frame, dressed in armor, and holding a staff. The engraving's detail in the armor and the inscription below the portrait provide insight into de Longueval's life and status as a military figure. It is a classic example of a portrait engraving common in the 17th century, capturing the likeness and importance of the sitter. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and social hierarchies of the Dutch Golden Age.
