Portret van Peter III van Rusland after 1762

This engraving by Johann Christoph Teucher, created after 1762, portrays Peter III, the short-lived Emperor of Russia. The artwork shows Peter III in a formal pose, wearing a richly decorated military uniform, a symbol of his status and power. The inscription below the image identifies him as "Petrus III, Imperator Omnium Rossarum," emphasizing his imperial role. The artwork highlights the importance of portraiture in conveying the authority and identity of powerful figures during the 18th century. This print was likely commissioned to commemorate Peter III's reign, though it was completed after his death. The composition is framed by an elaborate border, adding to the formality of the portrait.
