Ruiterportret van een Romeins keizer 1616 - 1620

This 17th-century engraving by Laurens Eillarts depicts an equestrian portrait of a Roman emperor. The detailed etching showcases the emperor's armor and the magnificent plumage of his helmet and horse. The inscription "C. CAES. TI. F." identifies the subject as a Roman Caesar, likely a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. This print, measuring 292mm x 222mm, demonstrates Eillarts' mastery of the engraving technique and his interest in classical history. The artwork is a testament to the enduring fascination with the Roman Empire and its powerful figures.
