This engraving by Jost Amman, titled "Portret van Karel V, koning van Frankrijk," depicts Charles V, King of France, in a circular frame. Amman, a Swiss artist known for his detailed illustrations, created this work in 1598. The engraving uses a combination of fine lines and shading to depict the king's features, while the surrounding frame is adorned with intricate details and a brief text in German. The image is a testament to the technical skill of Amman, and provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the late 16th century.
