"Portret van Albrecht III, hertog van Saksen", a 1601 engraving by Christoffel van Sichem I, depicts Albrecht III, Duke of Saxony, in full armor, holding a staff and a sword. The detailed depiction of the armor and the inscription below, identifying the subject as a Duke of Saxony and Governor of the Low Countries, highlights his status and power. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into 17th-century portraiture and the visual representation of authority in the Low Countries.
