"Portret van Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer-Obdam" is an engraving by Jacob Houbraken created between 1749 and 1759. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer-Obdam in a bust-length portrait within an oval frame. The engraving style, characterized by fine lines and detailed shading, was typical of the 18th century. Houbraken's mastery of detail is evident in the rendering of the sitter's attire, including his elaborate lace collar and armor. The engraving captures the subject's stoic expression and conveys a sense of authority befitting his military and political standing.
