Portret van Ferdinando II de' Medici 1645

This 1645 engraving by an anonymous artist depicts Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, in an ornate, armored suit, holding a staff. The portrait is framed within an architectural arch, a common stylistic element in engravings of the period. This print is a fine example of the portraiture style of the mid-17th century, which emphasizes realism and attention to detail. The work can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
