Portret van Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, baron d'Aubonne 1801

This engraving, created by Johann Friedrich Bolt in 1801, portrays Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, baron d'Aubonne, a renowned gem trader. The image, housed at the Rijksmuseum, features Tavernier in a close-up, with his face prominently displayed within an oval frame. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Tavernier's facial features and the subtle texture of his clothing. The inscription "Tavernier" below the portrait further confirms the identity of the subject. This work, a fine example of portrait engraving, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in the early 19th century.
