"Portret van Balthasar Balduin" is an engraving by Dutch artist Peter Troschel, created after 1647. The portrait depicts Balthasar Balduin, a theologian, in a three-quarter view, wearing a ruffled collar and holding a book. The image is framed by a decorative oval with the words "Balthasar Balduinus" and "SS. THEOL: D. P. ET RATISPON. VPERINT" displayed in a swirly script above and to the left of the subject. A quotation is inscribed at the bottom of the artwork, written in Latin. The engraving is a striking example of Troschel's work, demonstrating his skill in capturing likeness and detail. This small-scale portrait, measuring 179 mm by 129 mm, is a testament to the artist's talent in creating powerful images.
