This engraved portrait of Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony was created by Johann Esaias Nilson between 1739 and 1788. The artwork depicts the Archbishop of Trier within an ornate oval frame, surrounded by a coat of arms and cherubic figures. The detail of the inscription below the portrait highlights the prominent position Clemens Wenceslaus held as an Archbishop and Elector. This engraving showcases the artistry of Nilson, exemplifying the style of portraiture prevalent in the 18th century.
