The figure stands poised, adorned in a vibrant red robe trimmed with rich fur and intricately designed gold embroidery, symbolizing his distinguished rank. The elegance of his costume reflects the high status and solemnity of his order. Holding a cap, his dignified posture exudes authority and grace. This engraving originates from the monumental work "Illustrations of All Spiritual and Secular Orders," published between 1779 and 1791 as individual booklets. The series, compiled by Christian Friedrich Schwan, offers a detailed account of the attire and significance of various religious and chivalric orders across Europe. Created during a time when such visual documentation was rare, this series serves as an essential resource for understanding historical costumes and hierarchical systems. The engraving showcases the meticulous artistry and attention to detail characteristic of 18th-century European prints. The work remains a testament to the enduring appeal of historical documentation and the vibrant culture of chivalric orders during the period.
