An etching of Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor. A bust length portrait facing left, wearing a laurel crown, armour, collar, sash and the badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece. A Latin inscription and title below the portrait reads 'MATTHIAS.' An inscription in the upper right of the plate lists the object as being 'No. 199'. The print was originally part of Anton Ferdinand von Geissau's Geschichte der römischen Kaiser: mit ihren Bildnissen (1804-1807), which included a series of etched portraits of Roman Emperors by the printmaker Mark Quirin.
