"Portretten van keizer Constantijn III en zijn zoon Constans II" is a 16th-century engraved portrait of the Roman Emperors Constantius III and his son Constans II by Joos Gietleughen. The artwork depicts the two figures as busts, with Constantius III wearing a crown and a beard and Constans II wearing a simple garment. The work is likely meant to represent the succession of the two rulers. The engraving is a fine example of the Renaissance art of portraiture and is a valuable historical document as well.
