Flemish painter, draftsman, and tapestry cartoonist Jan van den Hoecke was an important assistant to Rubens for a time, lived and worked in Italy for a decade and painted for the royal courts in Vienna and Brussels. This depiction of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm is done in the Italian style of High Baroque Classicism, a somewhat rigid and formal manner.
