Add to basketPortrait of Ernst, Archduke of Austria, bust, turned to the left, glancing at the viewer, wearing armor, chain and ruff, with moustache; in lettered circle: "ERNESTVS D.G. ARCHIDVX AVSTRIAE DUX BURGUNDIAE COMES TIROLIS, ET BELGICARU PROVINCIARU GUBERN." It is not clear from which publication this portrait is taken from. On the verso of both pages is text in Latin referring to the Duke of Alba and Ernst of Austria. The dates and the text at the top of the pages suggest that the portrait was probably taken from an edition of the "Belgian Lion" by Michael von Aitzing. Etching and engraving on paper with broad margins; plate mark: 192 x 189 mm, total: 255 x 358 mm; crease in the middle as two pages are joined together. In good condition.
