This 1702 engraving by Pierre François Giffart depicts Amadeus IV, Duke of Savoy, in a profile portrait. Dressed in armor and a helmet with a plume, Amadeus is presented within an oval frame. Surrounding the frame are elaborate scrolls, ribbons, and botanical motifs, adding a decorative element to the print. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 18th century and highlights the importance of portraiture as a means of commemorating significant figures.
