"Portret van Andreas Colijns de Nole" is a 17th-century engraving by Pieter de (II) Jode, depicting Andreas Colijns de Nole. This etching is an example of portraiture, a popular art form in the Netherlands during the Dutch Golden Age. It depicts a man in a detailed, three-quarter-length pose, with a bust of a bearded man behind him. The detail in the clothing and the use of light and shadow bring the sitter to life. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
