Portret van Karel IV, hertog van Lotharingen c. 1663 - 1695

This etching by Dutch artist Christiaan Hagen is a portrait of Charles IV, Duke of Lorraine. Dated between 1663 and 1695, the artwork shows the Duke in a military pose, clad in armor and holding a helmet and a staff. The detail of the armor and the inscription below in German, “CAROLETUS DER IV. Herzog in Lotharingen,” (Charles IV, Duke of Lorraine), reflect the importance and power of the Duke. The etching is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
