Wenceslaus Hollar's "Portret van Robert Rich, graaf van Warwick," is an etching of a nobleman in full armor, standing with a staff in his right hand. The etching dates to 1642-1667, a time when Hollar was producing many engravings of prominent figures. The image includes details of the subject's armor, a helmet, and ships in the distance, which are believed to represent his fleet as Lord High Admiral. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Hollar’s detailed and highly skilled work.
