Portret van schrijver Anton Francesco Doni 1550

This 1550 engraving by Enea Vico depicts a portrait of the writer Anton Francesco Doni. It features a bust-length image of Doni set within an elaborate oval frame. The frame is adorned with two cherubs on each side, a globe at the bottom, and a ribbon with the inscription "MICROCOSMO". This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of the detailed and decorative style popular in 16th-century Italian engravings. The inscription suggests that the image might be related to Doni's work, possibly a book or a collection of writings.
