Theodor van Merlen's engraving of Gaspard IV de Coligny, created between 1635 and 1672, presents a detailed portrait of the French nobleman. The artwork, measuring 260 mm by 178 mm, showcases Coligny in an oval frame, his gaze directed towards the viewer. His elaborate clothing, a testament to his aristocratic status, and the lion's head emerging from the frame below are elements that add visual richness to this classic example of portraiture. The engraving, likely commissioned for a private collection or publication, is a valuable historical document showcasing the artistry of Theodor van Merlen during his career.
