EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Petrus Marchant, captured at the age of 76. Dressed in elegant clothing, he exudes an air of wisdom and refinement as he sits at a writing table. In his right hand, he holds a delicate writing spring, symbolizing his intellectual pursuits and love for literature. The portrait is framed with a six-line upper script in Latin and adorned with a coat of arms, hinting at Petrus Marchant's noble lineage or significant achievements. Below the frame rests a pedestal featuring two columns that hold a burial speech also written in Latin. This suggests that Petrus Marchant was not only respected during his lifetime but also revered after his passing. Adding to the composition are two musical instruments placed on the pedestal, signifying perhaps his appreciation for music or involvement in cultural activities. A banderole displaying his name, "Petrus Marchant" further emphasizes his identity within this artistic representation. Created by Pieter de Jode (II) between 1661 and 1670 using paper etching techniques, this remarkable piece invites us to contemplate the life and legacy of Petrus Marchant. It serves as both an homage to him personally and as an exploration into the artistry of portraiture during this period.
