This etching, created by Dutch artist Hendrik Spilman in 1745, depicts Dirk III, Count of Holland. The image is a portrait, showcasing Dirk in a full-length pose, clad in elaborate medieval attire. He is holding a sword and his right hand is extended in a gesture of authority. The etching is part of a series of portraits and is a striking example of Spilman's skill in capturing historical figures with detail and gravitas. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the artistic style and historical interest of 18th-century Netherlands.
