Portretbuste van keizer Gallienus (?) 1666 - 1671

This etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop, titled "Portretbuste van keizer Gallienus (?)", depicts a bust of a Roman emperor. The work, created between 1666 and 1671, is a detailed rendering of a classical sculpture. The artist's skill is evident in the precise lines and delicate shading that give the bust a sense of depth and realism. The inscription below the image confirms that the bust was copied from an antique marble sculpture. The etching is a fine example of de Bisschop's work, which combined accuracy with artistry. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
