This engraving, titled "Portret van Cosimo III de' Medici", was created by Nicolas de Larmessin in the late 17th century. The portrait depicts Cosimo III de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in an oval frame adorned with ribbons and a coat of arms. The detail of his lace collar and armor, typical of the period, provides insight into his royal status and the artistic style of the time. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact that captures the essence of 17th-century portraiture.
