This woodcut portrait of Charles V was created by Jan Swart van Groningen in 1530. The artwork depicts the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, in profile, wearing a hat and holding a staff. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Woodcut prints like this were common in the 16th century and served as a form of visual communication and documentation. This small portrait demonstrates the skill of Swart van Groningen in capturing likeness and conveying the power and authority of his subject.
