Portret van Johann Adolph II van Saksen-Weissenfels 1670 - 1713

This engraving, created between 1670 and 1713 by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk, depicts Johann Adolph II, Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels, in a formal portrait. The Duke is depicted in full, three-quarter length standing pose, with a refined expression and elaborate clothing that is detailed in meticulous detail. His long, flowing wig and ornate embroidered coat are typical of the fashion of the era, and the overall composition evokes the grandeur and power of the aristocracy. This work is a fine example of Dutch portraiture from the late 17th century, and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
