Jean Riolan the Younger (1577-1657), French anatomist. Latin text around the portrait includes his name (upper right), identifies him as a Parisian medical doctor (lower right), a Regius Professor (lower left), and a dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine (upper left). Although a dean of the faculty, he never become leading dean like his father had. Riolan, a contemporary of the English anatomist William Harvey, was a traditionalist who taught the 2nd-century theories of Galen and opposed Harvey's new ideas. This artwork was engraved by Gilles Rousselet (1610-1686). This copy is from the library of the Paris Faculty of Medicine.
