This small, silver medal, created in 1551 by Jacques Jonghelinck, depicts Paulus Pfintzig von Henfenfeld, a councilor of Charles V, riding a horse. The detailed, high-relief engraving highlights the subject's noble bearing and the intricate details of his attire, while the swirling flames beneath the horse suggest a dynamic and powerful presence. This medal is a testament to Jonghelinck's skill as a medalist and provides a glimpse into the artistic style and iconography of 16th-century portraiture.
