This anonymous engraving from the late 16th century depicts Johan III of Navarre, a ruler known for his religious tolerance and political alliances. The work is likely a portrait commissioned by a contemporary of Johan III and emphasizes his status as king. The figure is depicted in full length, wearing a lavish robe and holding a sword at his side, showcasing his power and authority. The presence of a heraldic shield and a goat, symbols of his lineage and kingdom, further solidify his identity. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and historical significance of Renaissance-era printmaking.
