Frans Huys' "Portret van koning Johannes III van Portugal" is a 1556 engraving of King John III of Portugal, created during the artist's short, prolific career. It depicts the king in an oval frame, with a caption proclaiming his authority over various regions. The engraving is a fine example of the use of detail and shading to create a realistic portrayal of a powerful figure, demonstrating Huys' skill as a portrait artist. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
