Portret van Jean Charles de Cordes 1883

Joseph Dujardin's 1883 engraving, *Portret van Jean Charles de Cordes*, depicts a man in a ruff, a style popular in the 17th century. The artist employs a dark background and strong lines to capture the subject's features, which are prominently displayed, with the viewer looking directly at them. The work is a testament to Dujardin's skill in capturing likeness through the medium of engraving, a technique popular in the 19th century.
