This etching by Dutch artist Pieter van Schuppen depicts Guilaume de Harouys de la Seilleraye, a Breton treasurer, in a formal portrait. The sitter wears a long, curled wig, and is framed within an oval. The Latin inscription, "Dominus de la Seilleraye...Civilis Consilii Regia," identifies the subject and his position as a royal councilor. This engraving, a popular art form during the 17th century, showcases van Schuppen's skill in capturing detail and creating a lifelike portrait.
