Portret van Nicolas Poussin 1824

This 1824 engraving by Étienne Frédéric Lignon depicts the French painter Nicolas Poussin. The print, held by the Rijksmuseum, shows Poussin in a three-quarter view, dressed in a dark robe, looking at the viewer with a serious expression. The artist's right hand rests on a book, and the background includes a series of framed pictures, suggesting the artist's workshop. Lignon's work is a fine example of portraiture engraving, capturing both Poussin's physical likeness and his intellectual depth.
