Dia.: 34,5 cm
Ref.: The present dish was, in all likelihood, decorated after an engraving by Adriaen Collaert after Johannes Stradanus (Jan van der Straeten, 1523-1605) from a series of portraits of Roman emperors, from the late 16th C. From the pose, the attribute and the position of the cape, one would assume the portrait of emperor Otho to have served as example. (link) (see last image, courtesy of: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam)
