Portret van een oude man in profiel met hoed

The figure is depicted in right profile wearing a large, flat-topped hat and a collar lined with thick fur. The composition uses precise, swelling engraved lines to suggest volume and the tactile quality of the materials against a hatched background.

This print represents the Haarlem Mannerist fascination with Northern Renaissance masters like Dürer. The subject, Maximilian I, was a pivotal patron of humanists and esotericists such as Johannes Trithemius and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, whose works defined the magical-philosophical worldview of the era.
