This anonymous 18th-century engraving, likely created between 1706 and 1720, features a profile portrait of Johan V, King of Portugal, surrounded by a circular frame inscribed with the names and reign dates of Portuguese monarchs. The detailed inscription, composed of two concentric circles, serves as a visual genealogy, highlighting the lineage of the Portuguese kings. The artist's meticulous rendering of Johan V's features, with his elaborate wig and armor, reflects the refined aesthetic of the Baroque period. This artwork likely served as a commemorative piece, celebrating the royal lineage and the reign of Johan V.
