EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching and engraving, created by the renowned Dutch artist Pieter van Sompel in the 17th century, showcases the regal presence of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria. The Archduke, who ruled over Austria, Styria, Bohemia, and Hungary, is depicted in grand attire, donning an ornate neck ruff and a voluminous cloak adorned with the Habsburg crest. In his hand, he holds a falcon, a symbol of his status as a hunter and a ruler. The intricately detailed engraving highlights the textures of the Archduke's clothing, from the velvet fabric of his cloak to the delicate fringes of his moustache and beard. The etching also captures the intense gaze of the bird of prey, mirroring the sharp focus and determination of the monarch himself. The artwork, a testament to the Baroque era's grandeur and opulence, is a must-see for anyone interested in history, fashion, or the arts. This piece is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Low Countries and the European monarchies of the past.
