This engraving by Flemish artist Michel van Lochom, created between 1612 and 1647, depicts Odoardo Farnese, Duke of Parma. The portrait is presented within an oval frame and showcases Odoardo in a detailed, realistic style typical of Baroque art. The artist's skill in capturing the subject's features and fine details like the lace collar and the patterned background, are evident in this finely executed print. The inscription at the bottom adds to the historical significance of the work, identifying the subject and providing his titles: Duke of Parma, Piacenza, Castro, and Lord of Sabion, Ronciglione, etc. This engraving serves as a valuable historical document while showcasing the artistic talent of van Lochom, a prominent engraver of the period.
