Jan Thomas's etching *Portret van keizer Leopold I* is a portrait of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, in the style of a classic portrait of royalty. The etching shows the emperor in profile, wearing a laurel wreath on his head, and a chain around his neck. His expression is stoic, and the engraving depicts him as a ruler of great power and authority. The work is an example of etching from the Baroque period. It was made by Jan Thomas, a Flemish artist, from 1627-1678. *Portret van keizer Leopold I* is currently held by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
