This anonymous engraving depicts Charles II, Holy Roman Emperor, in a regal pose. The artwork, created between 1675 and 1711, displays the emperor in full attire, including a flowing wig, lace cravat, and ornate coat. The inscription at the bottom details his titles, including "King of Spain" and "Archduke of Austria." The ship scene in the background may symbolize his maritime power or his connection to the Spanish colonies. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the 17th-century portrayal of European royalty.
