Portret van Pieter van den Broecke 1633

Adriaen Matham's 1633 engraving, "Portret van Pieter van den Broecke," depicts Pieter van den Broecke, a Dutch explorer. The portrait shows him in an oval frame, his face turned slightly to the left, his right hand resting on a staff. He is depicted with a mustache and beard, and is dressed in a finely detailed lace-trimmed coat, which was common attire for prominent figures of the time. The engraving is a fine example of a portrait in the Baroque style, with its intricate details and dramatic use of light and shadow. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
