This engraving by Nicolas de Larmessin, titled "Portret van César d'Estrées," depicts César d'Estrées, a French Cardinal and Duke. Created in 1689, the artwork presents a detailed portrait of the subject within an oval frame adorned with ribbons. The portrait emphasizes d'Estrées's noble status with his richly detailed clothing and the prominent display of his coat of arms. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of 17th-century portraiture in its focus on individual representation and social standing.
