Portret van Simon Moritz von Donepp 1649

This 1649 engraving by Elias Widemann depicts Simon Moritz von Donepp, a colonel in the Dutch army. The portrait is presented in an oval frame, featuring the subject in armor, and with a sash across his chest. The inscription around the frame identifies him and includes the Latin phrase "Pectora adversis ponenda rebus," meaning "Breasts to be exposed to adversity." This image is a testament to Widemann's skill in portraiture and a reminder of the importance of military leadership in 17th-century Europe. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
