Portret van Charles Montague 1673 - 1738

This etching by Pierre Drevet, a prominent French engraver, depicts Charles Montague, a notable English politician and patron of the arts. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Drevet's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the sitter's likeness with striking realism. Montague is portrayed in a formal pose, his attire and elaborate wig reflecting the fashion of the late 17th century. This portrait, created between 1673 and 1738, serves as a valuable document of a prominent figure in English history and a fine example of French engraving during this period.
