Lucas (II) Vorsterman's 1660 etching "Portret van een man met een gouden klauw, mogelijk Leonino Brembate" depicts a man in a fur-trimmed coat, holding his right hand with a golden claw in front of him. The image is a portrait, a genre common in the Dutch Golden Age. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Vorsterman's mastery of line and detail, highlighting the sitter's striking features and the intricacy of his attire. The portrait's subject, possibly Leonino Brembate, remains a subject of scholarly debate, adding an intriguing layer to the artwork.
