"Portret van Juan Domingo de Zunyga y Fonseca, graaf van Monterey" is an etching by Gerard de Lairesse, a Dutch Baroque artist, created in 1672. The piece, which is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a formal portrait of Juan Domingo de Zunyga y Fonseca, a nobleman with an elaborate coat of arms. Lairesse uses a dramatic use of light and shadow to emphasize the subject's authority and position. The use of a classical allegory in the form of a winged figure holding a torch contributes to the grandeur of the piece. The etching itself is a small piece, measuring just 241 mm in height and 168 mm in width.
