Chiaroscuro woodcut of Frederick the Handsome, Duke Austria. Full length portrait sitting in throne, printed in brown and black ink that has been heightened by the natural colour of the paper. Frederick wears draped clothing, an ermine cape and crown while holding a drawn sword and orb.  A Latin inscription within the circular frame reads 'FRIDERICVS III. DEI. G. REX.' The print comes from Icones Imperatorum Romanorum; this fifth and final volume, published in 1645, added to a four volume series which posthumously published the work of Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583). The fifth volume contained 160 biographies of emperors, each illustrated with a chiaroscuro woodcut by Christoffel Jegher (1596-1652/3), (British Museum, shelfmark 209*.a.3). The print has been trimmed.
