Portret van Francesco II Sforza 1549 - 1575

This anonymous engraving, created between 1549 and 1575, depicts Francesco II Sforza, Duke of Milan, in a bust-length portrait. Sforza is portrayed with a thick beard, a stern expression, and a fur-lined cloak. The intricate detail of the engraving, particularly in the rendering of Sforza's face and the texture of his clothing, is indicative of the skillful craftsmanship of the period. The simple frame of stylized foliage adds a touch of elegance to this historically significant portrait.
