"Portret van Sebastian Münster" is an anonymous engraving from after 1578 that depicts the German cosmographer Sebastian Münster. The image is a portrait within a decorative frame of cherubic figures. Münster is shown in profile, wearing a hat and a simple garment, with his name and the year of publication inscribed below. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum. This engraving likely served as a frontispiece for one of Münster’s popular works on geography and history, "Cosmographia."
