This 1745 engraving by an anonymous artist, titled *Portret van Noël Coypel,* is a detailed portrait of the French painter Noël Nicolas Coypel. The subject’s face is rendered with remarkable detail, framed by a voluminous wig and set within a decorative oval. The artwork is housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a prime example of the use of engraving to immortalize notable figures of the time.
