This engraving by Pieter de Jode II, created after 1661, is a portrait of Pepin of Landen, a prominent figure in 7th century Frankish history. The detailed work features a bust-length depiction of Pepin, dressed in elaborate attire, with a prominent hat adorned with a jewel. His stern expression and the inclusion of his coat of arms in the bottom right corner suggest the portrait's intended function as a historical record rather than a purely artistic endeavor. The work's formal style is characteristic of engraving during the Baroque period. This historical portrait is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
