"Portrait of Claude Deruet (1588-1660) Chevalier de l'ordre de Portugal" is an etching by the French artist Jacques Callot, created in the early 17th century. Jacques Callot (1592–1635) was a notable printmaker from the Duchy of Lorraine, renowned for his etchings that captured the pageantry, violence, and high society of his time. The portrait is a significant work within Callot's oeuvre, as it depicts Claude Deruet, a prominent French Baroque painter and a contemporary of Callot.

Claude Deruet was a court painter to the Duke of Lorraine and later became a Chevalier de l'ordre de Portugal, an honor reflected in the title of the portrait. The etching is an example of Callot's mastery of the medium, showcasing his ability to render fine detail and create a sense of depth and character in his portraiture. The work is also an important historical document, as it provides insight into the artistic and social circles of the early 17th-century French nobility.

The portrait is characterized by its intricate line work and the use of chiaroscuro, which Callot employed to achieve a three-dimensional effect. The subject, Claude Deruet, is depicted in a half-length pose, wearing the regalia associated with the Order of Portugal, which adds to the grandeur and formality of the composition.

As an artist, Jacques Callot was influential in the development of the printmaking technique, particularly in the use of the "échoppe," a type of needle with a slanted oval tip that allowed for greater variation in line width and depth. His innovations in etching contributed to the medium's popularity in Europe during the 17th century.

"Portrait of Claude Deruet (1588-1660) Chevalier de l'ordre de Portugal" is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly study. It exemplifies the rich cultural exchange between artists during the Baroque period and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of both Jacques Callot and Claude Deruet in the history of European art.
