Portret van een onbekende man, mogelijk Johann Friedrich von Württemberg 1630

Lucas Kilian’s “Portret van een onbekende man, mogelijk Johann Friedrich von Württemberg”, a 1630 engraving, depicts a man in elaborate attire, standing in a richly decorated room, possibly a palace. The subject's identity is unknown, but the inscription on the piece suggests he may be Johann Friedrich von Württemberg, a prominent figure in German history. The use of meticulous detail, the composition, and the subject's attire point to the piece's Baroque style and the artist's mastery of engraving. The piece is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and its small size, at just 255 mm high and 173 mm wide, suggests it was likely created as a personal portrait or a commemorative piece for a private collection.
