Portret van Titiaan 1651 - 1652

This is a portrait of the famous Italian painter Titian, created by Lucas (II) Vorsterman in 1651-52. The etching, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Titian's likeness in detail, showing the artist in his later years. Vorsterman was known for his skillful use of line and shading, which bring Titian's face and fur-trimmed collar to life. The etching's inscription includes "L. Titian F." and "L. Vorsterman f," signifying the original artist and the creator of the print.
