This 1675 engraving by Johann Alexander Böner depicts Cesare Baronio, a prominent Cardinal in the Catholic Church. The portrait is framed in a decorative oval and features a detailed depiction of Baronio's face and attire, including his clerical robes and cardinal's hat. The use of etching and stippling techniques creates a sense of depth and realism in the image, making it a valuable example of 17th-century portrait engraving. The inscription below the image identifies the subject and artist, adding to the historical value of this artwork. Böner's work serves as a visual record of a significant historical figure, and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
