This double portrait engraving by Karel van Sichem, made before 1614, depicts Archduke Albert of Austria and Isabella of Spain, the rulers of the Spanish Netherlands. The artwork showcases them in regal attire, Albert holding a spear and Isabella with a staff and an ornate pouch. The engraving's meticulous detail captures their clothing, jewelry, and the coat of arms displayed in the lower corners. This piece is a testament to Sichem's skill in depicting the nobility of his time and offers a glimpse into the royal court of the Spanish Netherlands. The engraving is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
