Portret van Urbanus Chevreau 1659 - 1731

This engraving by Pieter van Gunst depicts Urbanus Chevreau, a French writer and historian. The portrait, executed in a realistic style with fine detail, shows Chevreau in an oval frame, with his name and birthdate inscribed around it. Van Gunst was a prolific Dutch engraver known for his portraits and illustrations, and this piece showcases his skill in capturing likeness and conveying the sitter's character. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's mastery and an important historical document.
