Emperor Ferdinand III
ca. 1643 (?) | Daniel Neuberger
Portraits in wax have a long tradition. In the Baroque period, the deceptive verisimilitude of wax busts was especially popular, sometimes heightened through the use of real hair and other effects. The level of reality ensured the ruler not only remembrance, but also a seemingly real physical presence in important places, such as in the imperial collections.
