Peter Tillemans (1684–1734) was a Flemish-born painter who played a significant role in the development of the topographical painting tradition in Britain. The engraving situates his identity through the tools that symbolize his artistic practice (palette, brushes, and rolls of drawings). The composition clearly reflects the typical eighteenth-century painter’s portrait structure, which emphasizes the “moment of work” as a central theme.
