Portret van Carlos Coloma, markies de la Espinar Possibly 1630 - 1646

This is a portrait print of Carlos Coloma, Marquis of the Espinar, by the Flemish engraver Paulus Pontius, dating from 1630-1646. Coloma was a Spanish general who served in the Thirty Years' War. He is depicted in armor, holding a baton, and looking directly at the viewer. Pontius was a skilled engraver who created many prints of important figures of the era, and his work, like this print, exemplifies the clarity and detail characteristic of this period.
