Noblemen from Different Countries
Willem Pietersz Buytewech (1592-1624), etchings, two from a series of seven, 1615
Both noblemen are fashionably attired in wide, puffy breeches with ribbon garters. The young man holding a plumed hat bears the inscription Frans Edel Man (French nobleman). This, however, was a later addition by the print’s publisher. A French nobleman evidently sold better than an anonymous youth.
