Portret van een onbekende man met zwaard 1812

Filippo Pistrucci's "Portret van een onbekende man met zwaard" (1812) is an engraving depicting a man in 17th century dress, his face cast in shadow as he stands in profile holding a sword. The engraving is a full-length portrait in a simple composition, highlighting the details of the man's attire, with a focus on the lace and buckles of his garments. The man's resolute expression, coupled with his sword, suggests a figure of power, although his identity remains unknown. The inscription below the image, "Ritratto del Tiranno Cavaliere," further adds to the intrigue.
