Portretbuste van een oude man 1620 - 1690

This etching by Cornelis Bloemaert, dated between 1620 and 1690, depicts a bust portrait of an elderly man framed by a decorative wreath of leaves and topped with a butterfly. The image is a classic example of a portrait print from the Dutch Golden Age, and it was likely part of a series dedicated to prominent figures of the time. The man's serious expression and the finely detailed engraving create a sense of realism and solemnity. This print, measuring 150 mm high by 120 mm wide, is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
