Description

This engraving portrays Vespasianus Augustus, also known as Emperor Vespasian, the founder of the Flavian dynasty. The portrait shows Vespasian in a robust and commanding pose, dressed in Roman military attire with a breastplate and a cloak draped over his shoulder. He holds a scepter or staff in his right hand, symbolizing his authority and role as a ruler. The background is minimally decorated to keep the focus on Vespasian’s determined expression and strong features. This work is part of a series of eleven emperors of Rome, created by Aegidius Sadeler after paintings by Titian. Below the portrait, there is a Latin inscription extolling Vespasian's virtues and leadership qualities.

Condition Description

Engraving on laid paper. Some foxing and toning at the edges.
