Portret van Nicolaus von Burghaus 1630

This 1630 engraving, "Portret van Nicolaus von Burghaus," by Lucas Kilian, shows a detailed portrait of a man in a lavishly decorated outfit. Nicolaus von Burghaus is portrayed as a nobleman with a high collar and a distinguished beard. The engraving is framed by a circle with an inscription about his titles and accomplishments, including "ILLVST ET GENEROS," or "illustrious and noble." The engraving, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a testament to Kilian's skill as an engraver and offers a glimpse into the attire and societal status of a nobleman in 17th-century Europe.
