Mannenkop met helm gedecoreerd, met Romulus en Remus 1591 - 1615

This engraving, "Mannenkop met helm gedecoreerd, met Romulus en Remus," by Jacques de Bie, dates back to 1591-1615. The artwork depicts a profile portrait of a man in a helmet adorned with a plume. The figure is encircled by a serpent-like object that is entwined with medallions, ribbons, and tassels. The inscriptions, "Antiquitatis" and "Genio," likely indicate the subject's connection to history and genius. De Bie's masterful use of hatching and linework creates depth and detail in the composition. This engraving is a fine example of the artist's skill in portraiture and historical representation.
