Portret van Hernán Cortés 1549 - 1575

"Portret van Hernán Cortés" is an anonymous 16th-century engraving, depicting the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, who was instrumental in conquering the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. The artwork, which measures only 108mm in height and 83mm in width, shows Cortés in a detailed portrait, with a fur-trimmed coat and a cap, and presents a realistic depiction of the influential figure. This small but detailed print would have been a popular form of commemorating Cortés's achievements.
