Portret van H. Cyriacus 1611 - 1647

Michel van Lochom’s *Portret van H. Cyriacus* is an etching from the period 1611-1647, likely created shortly before the artist's death in 1647. The portrait depicts a man in the habit of a religious order, holding a dish with coins. The setting is a landscape, with a building visible in the background. The artwork is characterized by the detailed depiction of the figure and the surrounding environment, typical of Dutch Baroque portraiture. The inscription in the bottom of the print states “Michiel van Lochom fecit,” indicating the artist. The engraving displays the influence of printmaking techniques common in the 17th century and remains an example of van Lochom’s masterful use of detail and light.
