Portret van Louis-Michel van Loo met een portret van zijn vader 1779

Simon Charles Miger's engraving, "Portret van Louis-Michel van Loo met een portret van zijn vader," is a portrait of the artist Louis-Michel van Loo (1707-1771) with a smaller portrait of his father, Jean-Baptiste van Loo (1684-1745). The piece was created in 1779, nearly eight years after Louis-Michel's death. This type of double portrait is a common theme in art, where the artist is honored through a portrait with their relative. Miger’s engraving highlights the historical connection between these two prominent artists.
