This engraving, created by Thomas de Leu between 1576 and 1614, depicts Philippe-Emmanuel de Lorraine, Duke of Mercoeur. The portrait, framed in a circular border, showcases the Duke in full regalia, with a prominent ruff and a bejeweled cap. De Leu skillfully captures the Duke's likeness, providing a glimpse into the fashion and regality of the late 16th century. The engraving's inscription, "General Duc de Mercoeur, le General Dieu Mercure," further underscores the subject's prominent status and historical significance.
