Portret van Floris II, graaf van Holland 1620

Adriaen Matham's "Portret van Floris II, graaf van Holland" from 1620 is a detailed engraving depicting Floris II, Count of Holland, in full armor. The Count is shown standing with a sword in his left hand and his right hand resting on a shield emblazoned with the heraldic lion of Holland. This small-scale print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Matham's skill in portraying both the intricate details of clothing and armor, and the authoritative presence of his subject. The engraving would have been created as part of a larger series of portraits of historical figures, popular in the Dutch Golden Age.
