Portret van Petrus Codde, aartsbisschop van Utrecht 1704

This 1704 engraving by Flemish artist Philibert Bouttats depicts Petrus Codde, the Archbishop of Utrecht. The portrait shows Codde seated in a chair with a book in his lap and a quill pen on the table. He wears the traditional attire of a bishop with a cassock, rochet, and a mitre. This engraving is a fine example of Bouttats’s skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the dignity and authority of his subjects. The work can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
