This 1620 engraving by Adriaen Matham, titled "Portret van Dirk VII, graaf van Holland" ("Portrait of Dirk VII, Count of Holland"), depicts a historical figure. The count, in full armor, holds a sword and shield with the Holland Lion depicted on it. The detailed engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age and highlights the importance of lineage and heraldic symbolism.
