Portret van Gaspar Varela 1610

Francesco Villamena's 1610 engraving, "Portret van Gaspar Varela," is a detailed portrait of the man depicted in a formal pose, wearing a hat and a white robe, in an oval frame. The inscription at the top of the frame reads "D. Gaspar Varela Vtrivsque Signativae Referent Darius." The portrait also features a coat of arms with the inscription "Eudens Lumine Occedit," along with a banner featuring the date "June 1610," indicating the date of the portrait.
