This engraving by English artist William Faithorne depicts Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, at the age of 28. Created in 1697-1698, it portrays Peter in a formal, royal pose, wearing a fur-trimmed coat and a crown-like headpiece. The detailed, realistic portrait captures the Tsar's dignified presence, reflecting his power and influence. This print is a testament to Faithorne's skill as an engraver and showcases the artistic influence of the late 17th century. The print is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it stands as a significant piece within the museum's collection of historical engravings.
