Portret van Johan Lodewijk, graaf van Nassau-Hadamar 1610 - 1699

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century depicts Johan Lodewijk, Count of Nassau-Hadamar, in an oval frame. The count is dressed in a formal outfit and the image is likely a portrait commission, created to celebrate the count's achievements. The inscription below the portrait identifies him as a prince of the Holy Roman Empire and a knight of the Golden Fleece. The artist's identity remains unknown, but the use of linework and detailed rendering is typical of the period. This small, yet detailed, engraving provides a glimpse into the visual culture and social hierarchy of the time.
