Portret van Johan graaf van Khevenhüller 1600 - 1604

This engraved portrait of Johan, Graf von Khevenhüller by Dominicus Custos was created between 1600 and 1604. The portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Khevenhüller in profile, wearing a richly detailed armor and a large collar. The use of stippling creates a sense of depth and realism, typical of engravings from the early 17th century. The inscription surrounding the portrait highlights Khevenhüller's prestigious titles and roles, including his position as ambassador to the Catholic Emperor. The portrait showcases Custos' skill in capturing the subject's dignity and authority through careful rendering of detail and masterful use of light and shadow.
