This 17th-century engraving, created by an anonymous artist, depicts Johan Ernst I, Count of Nassau-Siegen. The portrait is a close-up, focusing on Johan Ernst's face and the upper part of his body. The subject is dressed in armor and a high ruff, a typical fashion style for the time period. The artwork is a prime example of 17th-century portraiture and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The small size of the print, measuring 187 mm by 128 mm, suggests it was likely intended for personal use, possibly as part of a collection of historical figures.
