The portrait is presented within a formal oval frame, a common convention for seventeenth-century book illustrations and scholarly frontispieces. The subject is shown in a three-quarter view, wearing the long, curled wig characteristic of the period and a lace-trimmed cravat. The precision of the line work, particularly in the rendering of the hair and the texture of the clothing, reflects the technical skill required for copperplate engraving during the Dutch Golden Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the oval portrait, a cartouche contains a Latin inscription by Sebastien Fesch. This inclusion of text serves to identify the subject and provide a scholarly context for the print. The Latin verses offer a formal tribute to Patin, aligning with the intellectual culture of the time where medical and scientific figures were frequently commemorated through such refined graphic works. The composition is balanced and restrained, focusing on the likeness of the sitter while maintaining the decorative qualities expected of high-quality printmaking from this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePieter Mortier (I) was a prominent publisher and engraver based in Amsterdam. His work often involved the reproduction of maps and portraits, contributing to the dissemination of knowledge across Europe. This specific print demonstrates the clarity and attention to detail that defined his output. The use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of volume and depth within the limited space of the oval frame. As a museum-grade fine art print, this piece offers a glimpse into the visual language of seventeenth-century portraiture, where the sitter's status is communicated through both his attire and the formal presentation of his image in a classical, academic style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/portrait-of-edouard-mole-robert-nanteuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Edouard Molé by Robert Nanteuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/doctor-in-de-geneeskunde-david-loggan\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDoctor in de geneeskunde by David Loggan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter Mortier (I)","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59115649204559,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59115650875727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59115650908495,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59115650941263,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59115650974031,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59115651006799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59115651039567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59115651072335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59115651105103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59115651137871,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59115651170639,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59115651203407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Charles-Patin_Poster_CompositorV1_1791940047709.jpg?v=1791948623","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/portrait-of-charles-patin-pieter-mortier-i","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
