Portret van Maximiliaan Emanuel II 1692 - 1713

This etching, created by Pieter Schenk between 1692 and 1713, depicts Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, a prominent figure in European history. Schenk's work captures the Elector in a formal pose, clad in armor and adorned with a fur-trimmed cloak, emphasizing his power and authority. The intricate details of his attire, particularly the intricate armor, demonstrate Schenk's mastery of the etching technique. The inscription at the bottom of the artwork, confirming Schenk as the creator, further enhances the historical significance of the work. The etching is a valuable piece of art that provides a glimpse into the life of a powerful figure from the late 17th century.
