Portret van de dichter Pieter Pypers 1803

This engraving, titled "Portret van de dichter Pieter Pypers" (Portrait of the Poet Pieter Pypers) was created in 1803 by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman. It depicts Pieter Pypers, a Dutch poet, in a bust-length portrait. Pypers is shown wearing a dark suit and white cravat, with his hair neatly combed. The engraving is framed by an oval, and the background is a plain, dark tone. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of the neoclassical portrait style that was popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
