A lovely portrait, with stunning early colour, of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, by the celebrated Augsburg engraver Martin Engelbrecht after a painting by Charles Steuttner. Charles VI, last emperor of the direct Hapsburg line, reigned as Emperor from 1711 to 1740. His claim to rulership of Spain, mentioned in the title, was one factor precipitating the War of the Spanish Succession. He was the father of Maria Theresa, and was a noted patron of the arts.
