"Portret van Ansegisel" is a 17th century engraving by Pieter de Jode (II) depicting a bust portrait of the historical figure Ansegisel, Duke of Brabant. This detailed etching, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, shows Ansegisel in ornate clothing and a head covering, highlighting the figure's noble status and connection to the court. The inscription below the image provides historical context and mentions Ansegisel's death by the hands of Godeslin. This work exemplifies De Jode's skill in portraiture and historical engraving, making it valuable to historians and art lovers alike.
