This engraving, "Portret van Floris I, graaf van Holland," by Cornelis Visscher, depicts Floris I, Count of Holland in profile, wearing a helmet and armor. It was created in 1650 and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work showcases Visscher's mastery of the etching technique, capturing intricate details in the armor and the ornate frame. The inscription "Floris Princeps" identifies the subject and highlights the aristocratic nature of the portrait, which would have been commissioned to commemorate Floris's legacy and reinforce his historical importance.
