"Portret van keizer Maximiliaan I" is a 16th-century engraving by Joos Gietleughen, depicting the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I in profile within a circular frame. The image, measuring just 179 mm by 178 mm, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of the powerful ruler. The detail of the crown and the inscription around the frame add to the historical significance of the piece. The engraving, likely created for a book or publication, serves as a visual representation of the emperor's reign.
