Portret van Karel III van Bourbon 1619 - 1675

Lucas Vorsterman I's "Portret van Karel III van Bourbon" is an etching from 1619-1675 that depicts the titular Duke of Bourbon in a three-quarter-length portrait. The Duke is dressed in a richly detailed fur-trimmed coat with a feathered cap, holding a helmet in his lap. The artwork's striking realism highlights the prominent features of the Duke's face and hand, creating a strong sense of presence. The print is a fine example of portraiture and the technical skill of the Baroque era in etching. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
