Portret van Philippe Le Roy 1630 - 1675

This etching, created between 1630 and 1675, is a portrait of Philippe Le Roy by the Flemish artist Lucas Vorsterman I. The work depicts Le Roy in a three-quarter-length pose, seated with a dog at his feet, and is notable for its detailed rendering of clothing and the sitter’s facial features. The background features a classical architectural element, indicating a connection to antiquity and intellectual pursuits. This work is a fine example of Vorsterman’s skill in portraiture and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection.
