Portret van Federico Furio y Ceriol 1587 - 1606

This etching by Philips Galle, created between 1587 and 1606, depicts Federico Furio y Ceriol. The portrait, which is now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Furio in a three-quarter view, with a refined, detailed rendering of his features. The sitter is adorned with a ruff, a fashion trend popular during the late 16th century. The engraving employs a technique known as "cross-hatching," resulting in detailed shading and a high degree of realism. This work highlights Galle's mastery of portraiture, particularly within the realm of printmaking.
