Portret van een onbekende man 1657

This engraving, created by Dutch artist René Lochon in 1657, depicts an unknown man, captured in a detailed and realistic manner. The subject, with long, flowing hair and a distinguished expression, appears in a formal pose, emphasizing his social standing. The intricate frame surrounding the portrait features a decorative tree trunk with ribbons and a coat of arms at the bottom, further enhancing the sense of grandeur. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Lochon's skill as a portrait artist and provides a glimpse into the fashion and customs of 17th-century Dutch society.
