Willem Hondius's 1633 engraving *Portret van Johan Ernst II, hertog van Saksen* depicts Johan Ernst II, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, in an oval frame. He is shown in a three-quarter view, with his left shoulder turned slightly towards the viewer. His clothing is adorned with lace and embroidery. This detailed engraving, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the portraiture style popular in the 17th century.
