Etching of a bronze statue at the tomb of the Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor at Hofkirche, Innsbruck. View of the statue, with crowned helmet with a closed visor, chainmail, engraved armour, and gauntlets, holding a sword in left hand and with right hand extended. The figure is depicted standing on a small pedestal engraved with the title 'THEOPERTVS KVNIG ZV PROVANCZ HERCZOG ZV BVRGVNDI GRAF ZV HABSPVRG.'
This is a print of one of 28 life-sized bronze statues which stand around the tomb of the Emperor Maximilian I at Hofkirche, Innsbruck. The inscription on the state and the print identify the sitter as Theobert, however today this statue is identified as Ferdinand I, King of Portugal, standing between the figures of Arthur, King of Britain and Ernst, Duke of Austria. -
