This title page, designed by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk (1660-1711) and held in the Rijksmuseum, serves as the introduction to a series of portraits dedicated to Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor. The artwork, executed between 1690 and 1713, features elegant script in Latin and a simple design. Schenk's calligraphic skills are evident, with the text, including Leopold's titles and a dedication, dominating the page. The artwork, while not an illustration, is a significant piece that contextualizes the series of portraits it introduces.
