Portret van Klemens Wenzel Lothar, Fürst von Metternich 1823

This engraving by Johann Friedrich Bolt, dating back to 1823, depicts Klemens Wenzel Lothar, Fürst von Metternich. The print shows Metternich in a formal portrait, featuring a bust-length view of him, clad in a dark coat with a white collar and a prominent decoration pinned to his chest. The inscription beneath the image identifies him in both German and French, highlighting his influence in the European political sphere. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the era of Metternich, a pivotal figure in European history.
