Portret van Philips de Flines 1670 - 1675

"Portret van Philips de Flines" is a portrait drawing by Gerard de Lairesse, a prominent Dutch Baroque artist, created between 1670-1675. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts Philips de Flines, a wealthy Flemish merchant, seated at a table with a book open before him. De Lairesse's signature is subtly present at the bottom of the drawing, adding a personal touch to the portrait. The composition of the artwork, along with the use of light and shadow, creates a sense of depth and realism, making the viewer feel as if they are in the room with Philips de Flines. This artwork is a prime example of de Lairesse's mastery in portraiture and is an important part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
