Portret van Johan Frans Desideratus, graaf van Nassau-Siegen 1650 - 1696

This 17th-century etching by Richard Collin, titled "Portret van Johan Frans Desideratus, graaf van Nassau-Siegen," depicts Johan Frans Desideratus, Count of Nassau-Siegen, in an oval portrait. The count is shown in a suit of armor, with his left hand resting on his hip and his right hand holding a baton, suggesting his military rank. Surrounding the portrait is a laurel wreath, symbolic of victory and honor, and at the bottom of the etching are various military symbols like cannons and arrows, further highlighting the count's military prowess. The etching is a fine example of the Baroque style, notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow. The etching is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
