Portret van Rooms-Duits keizer Jozef II als aartshertog van Oostenrijk 1751 - 1764

This engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth, created between 1751 and 1764, depicts a young Joseph II, the future Holy Roman Emperor, as Archduke of Austria. The portrait captures the young prince in an oval frame with an elaborate, finely detailed background. The image is part of a series of portraits of the Habsburg family, showcasing the power and prestige of the dynasty. The engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the early life of a prominent historical figure and the art of portraiture during the 18th century.
