Portret van P. Teius 1573 - 1610

This engraving, "Portret van P. Teius," was created by Francesco Vanni, a prominent Italian painter, between 1573 and 1610. The portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts P. Teius, whose name appears in Latin around the oval frame. This small engraving, measuring only 141mm by 102mm, is a testament to Vanni's talent for capturing detail and rendering a lifelike image of his subject. The use of fine lines and shading adds to the realism of the portrait, making it an exemplary work of Renaissance art.
