"Portret van Karl Fugger" is an etching by Lucas Kilian, dating from 1607-1637. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Karl Fugger in an oval frame, holding a book and rosary beads. The inscription surrounding the portrait identifies the subject as "Carolus Edvardi Philippi Fugger Filius" (Charles, son of Edward, son of Philip Fugger).
