Portret van ridder Matthias Thalmann c. 1600 - 1615

This etching, created by Dominicus Custos between 1600 and 1615, depicts Matthias Thalmann in an oval frame adorned with a wreath of laurel and a ribbon. The portrait, characteristic of Northern Renaissance portraiture, captures Thalmann in a formal pose, wearing a ruff and a fur-trimmed coat. The inscription below includes a Latin motto, highlighting the significance of the sitter. The etching is a testament to Custos' skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, making it a valuable historical document.
