Dominicus Custos's "Portret van Georg Ludwig graaf van Leuchtenberg" (1600-1604) is an engraving of a portrait of Georg Ludwig, Count of Leuchtenberg. The portrait is executed in the style of a Renaissance-era print, with a formal, symmetrical composition and detailed depiction of the sitter's features. Georg Ludwig wears a ruff, a popular fashion accessory for men of the time, and his clothing is rendered with great detail. This intricate engraving is a compelling example of the portraiture practiced by Dominicus Custos, a prominent Dutch engraver who created works of art for a discerning public.
