This engraving by Nicolas de Larmessin, titled "Portret van Idalcansi," is a portrait of a Cambodian king, Idalcansi, wearing elaborate clothing and a crown. The engraving is framed by an oval border decorated with ribbons, a common practice in 17th-century portraiture. The work was likely created between 1642 and 1678, and it now resides in the Rijksmuseum. Its small size, 232mm by 159mm, is typical for engravings of this period, making it ideal for private collections.
