Portret van Ernst Casimir, graaf van Nassau-Dietz 17th century

This anonymous 17th-century engraving depicts Ernst Casimir, Count of Nassau-Dietz, in an oval frame adorned with ornate scrolls. The count is shown in a formal portrait with a high collar and richly decorated jacket. This small-scale print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of the portraiture genre popular during the Dutch Golden Age. Its detailed engraving captures the sitter’s likeness and conveys his status through the use of decorative elements and clothing.
