Portret van Pierre-Silvain Régis 1659 - 1731

"Portret van Pierre-Silvain Régis" is an engraving by Pieter van Gunst, created between 1659 and 1731. The portrait depicts Pierre-Silvain Régis, a French philosopher and physicist, in a bust-length format, framed by an oval border inscribed with his name. Van Gunst's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the finely rendered lines and textures of the subject's attire, hair, and features. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the art of portraiture during the Baroque period and serves as a visual testament to the life and work of a prominent intellectual figure.
