This engraving, *Portret van Ermolao Barbaro*, was created by Theodor de Bry between 1597 and 1599. Depicting Ermolao Barbaro, a prominent figure in the 15th century, the artwork showcases de Bry's skill in capturing detail and creating a realistic portrait. The intricate details of the subject's clothing and facial features are complemented by the ornate frame surrounding the portrait, typical of the period's artistic style. This small-scale work, now located in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popularity of engraved portraits in the late Renaissance.
