This etching by Dutch artist Adriaen Matham depicts Philip III, King of Spain, standing in a three-quarter view. Created in 1620, the engraving shows the king in full armor, holding a sword and a shield displaying his coat of arms. The meticulous detail of his attire and the depiction of the king in a commanding pose showcase the artist's skillful handling of the medium, demonstrating the popular genre of portraiture during the 17th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
