Portret van de schoolmeester en schoonschrijver Theodore Bleuet c. 1637 - 1665

This etching by Salomon Savery, created between 1637 and 1665, portrays Theodore Bleuet, a schoolmaster and copyist. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Bleuet in a three-quarter profile, with his right hand extended holding a piece of paper. His attire is typical of the period, including a wide-brimmed hat and a doublet fastened with numerous buttons. The engraving's detail is evident in the textured fabric and the delicate rendering of Bleuet's features. The artwork provides a glimpse into the life of a 17th-century scholar and the artistry of Savery's etching techniques.
