Portret van Maximiliaan van Hessen-Kassel 1708

This etching by Pieter Schenk, titled *Portret van Maximiliaan van Hessen-Kassel*, depicts the nobleman Maximillian of Hesse-Kassel. The print, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Schenk's masterful engraving technique in a realistic depiction of the sitter. The subject is portrayed in a formal setting, wearing armor and a fashionable wig, and is identified through a Latin inscription at the bottom of the image. This work, dating back to 1708, is an excellent example of Dutch 18th-century printmaking.
