‘BELOW PORTRAIT: “SOLUS NON POTERAT GUILLAEVM FINGERE PICTOR? ANNO AETATIS 35. 1585. A. VALLEUS FECIT. P. MARIETTE EXCUD.”‘

– Rare and refined portrait engraving of Jacques Guillemeau (1550-1613), the French surgeon and pupil of Ambroise Pare. He is depicted half-length, facing the viewer, wearing a characteristic ruff collar and buttoned doublet. The engraving demonstrates highly controlled burin work, with delicate modeling of the face and finely rendered textiles. The inscription references his age (35) and the year 1585, situating the portrait firmly within the late Renaissance. Published by Pierre Mariette in Paris, the print reflects the intellectual prestige of medical professionals in sixteenth-century France.
