Portret van Adolf, graaf van Nieuwenaar en Meurs 1584 - 1620

This engraving by Frans Hogenberg, created between 1584 and 1620, depicts Adolf, Count of Nieuwenaar and Meurs, in profile. The artwork, measuring 210 mm in height and 172 mm in width, is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The count is shown holding a baton and wearing a lavishly decorated coat, a symbol of his high status. His armor, partly visible, emphasizes his military role. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous detail and realistic depiction characteristic of Hogenberg's work, a prominent figure in 16th-century Netherlandish printmaking.
