This etching, *Portret van Clemens XI*, depicts Pope Clement XI by Dutch artist Jacobus Harrewijn. Created between 1700 and 1721, the artwork uses a formal portrait style and is framed by two allegorical figures. The Pope is presented in a bust-length portrait in an oval, while the figures stand on either side holding symbols of faith. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
