About this work

An engraved portrait shows a seated man in a long cloak and falling-collar garment, resting his hand on an open book on a patterned table. A shelf of books, a hat, and a volume labeled Aristotle appear beside him on a tiled floor. The inscription below identifies the sitter as René Descartes, and the print is catalogued as an anonymous French work dated 1600.
