This 17th-century engraving by Heinrich van Lennep depicts Philip I, the magnanimous Landgrave of Hesse, in a detailed portrait. The artwork showcases the Landgrave in an oval frame, adorned with a fur-trimmed coat and a ceremonial chain. The engraving captures Philip I in a dignified pose, holding a staff, and offers a glimpse into the historical figure's regality. The inscription below the portrait further identifies the figure as "Philippus D.G. Hassiae Landgravius, Comes Cattimeliboci Decia Zigenhaina Et Nidda." This engraving is a fine example of 17th-century portraiture and provides valuable insights into the iconography of historical figures.
