This 1636 engraving by Cornelis Galle I, titled *Portret van de Augustijn Franciscus de Castro Verde*, depicts the Augustinian friar Franciscus de Castro Verde. The image is presented in an oval format, framed by an elaborate design featuring two cherubs and ornate scrolls. The friar is shown in a somber, almost melancholic expression, his eyes gazing directly at the viewer. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 17th-century portraiture, showcasing the artistic skill of Cornelis Galle I in capturing the likeness and demeanor of his subject.
