Johannes (II) Meyer's etching "Portret van Rodolphus Schwend" depicts Rodolphus Schwend, a prominent figure in the Republic of Turin, in an oval frame. Created between 1665 and 1712, the artwork showcases Schwend in profile, holding a shield with a coat of arms. This detail is characteristic of portraiture of the time, emphasizing the subject's status and accomplishments.
