Portret van Don Gaspar de Tebes y Tello de Guzmán 1670

This 1670 engraving by Cornelis Meyssens depicts Don Gaspar de Tebes y Tello de Guzmán, a Spanish nobleman. The portrait showcases de Guzmán in a formal pose, with his long hair and mustache reflecting the fashion of the era. The text beneath the image provides biographical details: de Guzmán was a Count, a Marchiese, and served as an ambassador to the Holy Roman Empire. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the 17th-century printmaking tradition of capturing individual portraits and disseminating information about important figures.
