"Portret van La Marre" is an etching by Jacob Gole, depicting a satirical portrait of the commissioner La Marre. Created in 1691, the artwork shows La Marre in a dark hooded cloak, with a distorted, exaggerated facial expression and an inscription beneath the portrait that further criticizes him. This satirical work highlights the social and political commentary present in art of the 17th century, and is a powerful example of Dutch graphic art. It is currently held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
