Portret van Albrecht, aartshertog van Oostenrijk 1650 - 1695

Gaspar Bouttats, a Flemish artist, created a portrait of Albrecht, Archduke of Austria, in this etching. The portrait is framed by a decorative border of shields, weapons, and cherubs, alluding to the Archduke's power and authority. The intricate details and the use of shading and light create a sense of depth and realism. This work highlights the artistic style of the Baroque period, where grandiosity and intricate detail played significant roles. This etching, now located in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of portraiture from the 17th century.
