Portret van aartshertog Albrecht van Oostenrijk 1663

This is a portrait of Archduke Albert of Austria, a prominent figure in 17th-century European history. Created by Cornelis Meyssens in 1663, the engraving depicts the Archduke in a formal, dignified pose. The meticulous detail, including the elaborate ruff and chain of office, emphasizes Albert's stature as a ruler. This portrait is a fine example of the Baroque style, with its emphasis on realism and symbolic detail. The inscription at the bottom provides biographical information, including his marriage to Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
