Portret van Filips Willem, keurvorst van de Palts 1690 - 1713

This engraving by Pieter Schenk, dating from 1690-1713, is a portrait of Philipp Wilhelm, the Elector Palatine. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, shows the elector in a formal pose, dressed in elaborate clothing with a prominent wig, his face marked by lines of age and experience. This small print is a fine example of the portraiture popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
