"Portrait of Archduke Ernst of Austria" is a notable work by Martino Rota, also known as Martino Rota Dalmatia, a Renaissance engraver and artist of Croatian origin who worked in various cultural centers of Europe, including Venice and the Habsburg court. The portrait is a significant historical artifact as it captures Archduke Ernst of Austria (1553–1595), a member of the House of Habsburg and a prominent figure in European politics during the late 16th century.

The artwork is an engraving, a medium that was widely used during the Renaissance for reproducing images and disseminating them across Europe. Rota's skillful use of line and shadow in the engraving process highlights the status and character of the Archduke, providing insight into the fashion and iconography of the period. Archduke Ernst was known for his roles as the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands and the secular ruler of the Habsburg hereditary lands, and his portrait would have served as a powerful tool for projecting his influence and maintaining his presence in the public eye.

While the exact date of the portrait's creation is not well-documented, it is likely to have been produced during the latter part of the 16th century, coinciding with the Archduke's prominence in European affairs. The portrait not only serves as a testament to the Archduke's status but also exemplifies the style and technical prowess of Martino Rota, who was renowned for his engravings and contributions to the art of printmaking.

The "Portrait of Archduke Ernst of Austria" remains an important work for scholars studying the Habsburg dynasty, Renaissance portraiture, and the history of engraving. It is a valuable piece that reflects the interconnectedness of art, politics, and society during a pivotal era in European history.
