This etching by Flemish artist Joannes Meyssens, created between 1640 and 1670, depicts Don Juan of Austria, a prominent figure in 17th-century European history. The portrait showcases the subject in a profile view, his attire hinting at his military prowess and high social standing. The engraving's fine detail and realistic portrayal capture the subject's character, while the elaborate frame adds to the overall sense of grandeur and formality. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned Dutch museum, and serves as a testament to Meyssens' skill as a printmaker.
