Portret van een koning van Ethiopië 1684 - 1743

This etching by Dutch artist Jan Lamsvelt depicts an Ethiopian king. The engraving shows a detailed portrait of the king, in an oval frame, wearing a crown, feathered headdress, and jewelry. The inscription at the bottom reads "Abissin Roy D'Ethiopie," identifying the subject as an Abyssinian (Ethiopian) king. This piece is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the visual representation of Ethiopian royalty in 18th-century Europe. The etching is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
