Portret van Julius von Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky 1646

This 1646 engraving by Elias Widemann depicts Julius von Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky, a nobleman, in a bust-length portrait. The subject is dressed in armor and has a serious expression, with a faint moustache and goatee. The inscription around the portrait, "COLONEL.L.VS. IVLIVS BARO A KOLOBARATH", identifies the individual, while the Latin phrase "DEVS PROVIDEBIT" is a reminder of God's providence. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch portraiture from the 17th century.
