Portret van Pierre Corneille 1643

Michel Lasne's 1643 engraving, "Portret van Pierre Corneille," depicts the renowned French playwright Pierre Corneille in a three-quarter view. The engraving is a portrait in a decorative oval frame, surrounded by elaborate baroque ornamentation. Corneille is portrayed in a simple, dark-colored attire, with a prominent collar. This print is a testament to the artist's skill and captures the essence of the famous playwright, now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
