Portret van Joachim graaf van Ortenburg 1600 - 1604

This engraving by Dominicus Custos depicts Joachim, Count of Ortenburg, a nobleman from the Ortenburg family. Created between 1600 and 1604, the portrait showcases the count's stern expression and elaborate ruff collar, typical of the fashion during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The inscription at the top of the oval frame lists the count's name and titles, while the inscription at the bottom indicates that the count was a man of honor and virtue. This print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and its small size, measuring only 170 mm by 125 mm, suggests its intimate nature as a personal portrait for the count's family or close circle.
