Portret van Thomas De Lorme 1630 - 1676

This engraving, created by Nicolas Auroux between 1630 and 1676, depicts a portrait of Thomas De Lorme. Auroux, a French artist, was known for his engravings and often used a hatched line style. This work is a classic example of an engraved portrait, emphasizing the sitter's features and clothing. The oval frame and inscription add to the formal, decorative nature of the work. The inscription suggests a comparison between two portraits of De Lorme, suggesting the artist was trying to capture both the physical and intellectual aspects of the sitter. This engraving would have appealed to a wide audience interested in the lives of prominent figures of the time.
