Portret van Robert Boyle 1670 - 1713

"Portret van Robert Boyle" is an etching created by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk (1660-1711) between 1670 and 1713. The print depicts a portrait of Robert Boyle, a prominent Irish philosopher, chemist, and physicist known for his work on the properties of gases and the scientific method. The etching is characterized by its detailed rendering of Boyle's features, particularly his long, curly wig and the lace collar of his shirt. The oval frame and inscription in Latin at the bottom add to the artwork's formal aesthetic. This print is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
