This portrait of Don Luis de Requesens y Zúñiga was created by Christoffel van Sichem I, a Dutch engraver who lived from 1546 to 1624. The artwork was likely completed before 1611. The engraving depicts Don Luis, a Spanish nobleman and military commander, in full dress, standing before a building with a view of a fortified city in the background. This piece, which is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into 16th-century Dutch portraiture, showcasing the detail and precision of engravings during the period.
