This anonymous engraving from before 1725, titled "Portret van Jan I van Holland", depicts Jan I, Count of Holland, standing in a classical setting. He wears a fur-trimmed robe and holds a sword, surrounded by military accoutrements. The intricate frame, adorned with armor, shields, and other symbols of power, adds to the portrait's grandeur and emphasizes Jan I's noble status. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch portraiture and the visual representation of power.
