"Portret van Antoine Brun" is an 1877-1879 lithograph by Dutch artist Jan Frederik Christiaan Reckleben. The artwork, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, portrays a portrait of Antoine Brun, a historical figure possibly an official of the Dutch government during the 17th century. The artwork features a realistic depiction of Brun's face and attire, captured within an oval frame. The portrait is framed by a banner with the words "ANTONY BRUYN, GEZANT VAN SPAENJE", identifying the subject and his position as an ambassador.
