Portret van Petrus d'Andrieu 1667 - 1713

This etching by Alexis Loir, created between 1667 and 1713, depicts Petrus d'Andrieu, a priest, in a bust-length portrait. The work is a fine example of Dutch 17th-century portraiture, known for its focus on realism and attention to detail. D'Andrieu is portrayed wearing a dark robe and white collar, his face illuminated by a subtle light that accentuates his features. The inscription "Petrus d'Andrieu Presbyter" identifies the subject and his profession. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this print offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure during the Dutch Golden Age.
