Portretten van Seleucus I en Ptolemaeus I Possibly 1610 - 1654

"Portretten van Seleucus I en Ptolemaeus I" (Portraits of Seleucus I and Ptolemy I) are two engravings by an unknown artist from the 17th century. The portraits are likely part of a larger historical work depicting the rulers of the Hellenistic era. These are oval-shaped portraits of the rulers, Seleucus I Nicator and Ptolemy I Soter, in the style of 17th-century portrait engravings, set in a printed text of their respective biographies. These engravings, now in the Rijksmuseum, are likely part of a book or collection of historical figures. The engravings are small, intimate portraits, which are likely meant to illustrate the text rather than serve as independent works of art.
