Portrait, after David Teniers the Younger 1803

Jean Jacques de Boissieu's *Portrait, after David Teniers the Younger* (1803) is a black and white etching that depicts a seated man in a dark, shadowed background. The man wears a large ruff and is captured in a contemplative pose, his hands folded before him. The etching was inspired by the work of Flemish painter David Teniers the Younger, showcasing Boissieu's mastery of the genre and his deep appreciation for the works of his predecessors. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this detailed print, a testament to the skill of the artist and his role in the revival of etching techniques in the early 19th century.
