Portret van Gabriel Lasmartres 1790

This engraving, titled "Portret van Gabriel Lasmartres", was created in 1790 by the French artist Pierre Charles Coqueret. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts Gabriel Lasmartres, a French clergyman, within an oval frame adorned with a laurel wreath. The use of engraving technique and the realistic portrayal of the subject in a formal setting are characteristic of Neoclassical portraiture popular in the late 18th century. This artwork exemplifies Coqueret's mastery of printmaking, offering a glimpse into the life of a significant figure from French history.
