"Busteportret van een man" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Wierix, created sometime before 1620. The print depicts a man in a ruff collar and fur-trimmed garment, his face rendered in a detailed, expressive manner. The background is a simple sky, providing a stark contrast with the subject and lending focus to his portrait. This work is a prime example of the portraiture prevalent in the Dutch Golden Age, known for its realism and attention to detail. The engraving can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum.
