Bazin de Besons, Claude

Pierre Louis van Schuppen

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white engraving of a man with long, wavy hair and a ruffled collar. He wears a dark-colored robe. The man's head and shoulders are encircled by an oval frame with text along the inner edge. The frame is surrounded by a rectangular border with ornate designs at the top and a crest at the bottom. The crest features a crown and two lions. The background of the engraving has varying shades of gray. The overall style suggests it is a formal portrait, likely from the 17th century. The text on the frame reads "CLAVDIVS BAZIN DOMINVS DIE BESONS" on the left side and "COMES ORNINARII CONSILIORIS" on the right side. The engraving is titled "Bazin de Besons, Claude" and attributed to "Pierre Louis van Schuppen".
