Portret van Jozef I, Rooms-Duits keizer 1705 - 1733

This etching by Martin Bernigeroth, titled *Portret van Jozef I, Rooms-Duits keizer*, depicts Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I. The image shows the emperor in elaborate garb, with a flowing wig, and seated in a chair with a crown in his hand, a testament to his regal status. The etching was created between 1705 and 1733, shortly before the artist's death in 1733, and is a fine example of portraiture from the Baroque period. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small work, measuring 155 mm in height and 96 mm in width.
