This anonymous woodcut, titled "Portret van Johan V, koning van Portugal op 24-jarige leeftijd", depicts a profile portrait of King John V of Portugal at the age of 24. Created in 1725, the artwork showcases the king with a halo, suggesting his status as a ruler and likely symbolizing his royal authority. The use of intricate geometric patterns in the background adds to the visual complexity and contributes to the overall sense of grandeur. The woodcut, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the portrayal of Portuguese monarchs in the early 18th century.
