Portret van Pierre de Cambout de Coislin 1656

This portrait engraving of Pierre de Cambout de Coislin, created in 1656 by Michel Lasne, is a prime example of 17th-century portraiture. The etching showcases Coislin in an almost austere pose, his gaze directed towards the viewer. His attire, a simple dark garment with a ruffled collar, reflects the fashion of the time. The portrait is framed within a decorative octagon, adding a formal touch to the composition. Lasne's skill in capturing the sitter's likeness and the meticulous detail of the engraving make this a striking and historically significant work. The engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a valuable insight into the life and appearance of a notable figure of the period.
