Portret van Peter III, tsaar van Rusland 1762 - 1788

This engraving by Johann Esaias Nilson, titled "Portret van Peter III, tsaar van Rusland," portrays Peter III of Russia, who reigned for a short period in 1762. The portrait is set within an elaborate frame, with allegorical figures and symbols surrounding it. The overall style is baroque, with a strong emphasis on detail and symbolism, making this artwork a valuable historical record of Peter III's reign. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Nilson's skill in creating a dramatic and memorable portrait.
