This engraving, "Portret van Ferdinandus de Medici," was created by Adriaen Haelwegh in 1663. It depicts Ferdinand, Grand Prince of Tuscany, in an oval frame adorned with a laurel wreath. He wears armor and a flowing cloak, highlighting his stature and authority. The inscription below identifies him as the son of Cosimo III and Margarita, adding historical context to the work. Haelwegh's detailed etching technique captures Ferdinand's regal presence and the intricate details of his attire, making this a fine example of portrait engraving from the 17th century.
