Portret van Philippe Le Roy 1650 - 1670

This 17th-century etching by an anonymous artist depicts Philippe Le Roy, a prominent figure of the time. The portrait is characterized by meticulous detail, capturing the sitter's attire, including his elaborate lace collar and finely patterned sleeves. His composure is striking, with a thoughtful expression and a steady gaze. The presence of a dog at his side suggests a connection to hunting or companionship. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of 17th-century Europe.
