Portret van François de L'Hopital 1649

This etching by Johannes (II) Valdor depicts François de L'Hopital, likely a prominent figure of the time. The portrait is framed within an ornate architectural design featuring a coat of arms, a laurel wreath, and a plaque bearing L'Hopital's name. The detailed engraving and the realistic depiction of L'Hopital's features contribute to the portrait's sense of gravitas and formality. The image was created in 1649, marking a significant moment in the Dutch Golden Age of etching.
