"Portret van Jan Peetersz. de Beaumont, op 48-jarige leeftijd" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Wierix, created in 1577. This small portrait depicts Jan Peetersz. de Beaumont at the age of 48. The engraving is framed in an oval with the subject's name, age, and the year of creation inscribed around the edge, a common practice in portraiture of this period. The detailed rendering of Beaumont's features, including his beard and clothing, demonstrates Wierix's skillful use of line and shading in this iconic example of 16th-century portraiture.
