Engraving of Rudolf I, Holy Roman Emperor. Bust length portrait facing the viewer, wearing a crown and ermine capelet while holding a drawn sword. The portrait sits within an oval border - below is the Latin name and title 'RUDOLPHUS I. HABSBURG.' and a Latin and German inscription. The print has been cut from a series of 65 portraits of French rulers from the sixth to the seventeenth century, all of which were originally plates to Der Könige in Frankreich Leben, Regierung und Absterben: aus bewehrten frantzösischen Geschicht-Schreibern übersetzet und biß auf instehendes 1671 (1671), published in Nuremberg.
