Portret van militair José Carrillo de Albornoz 1736

This 1736 engraving by Giovanni Battista Lapi depicts José Carrillo de Albornoz, Duke of Montemar. The portrait is framed by an oval and features a detailed, almost lifelike rendition of the Duke's face, hair, and clothing. The surrounding ornate decorations including a coat of arms, a sword, and a trumpet, symbolize the Duke's military rank and authority. Lapi's detailed style, evident in the meticulous rendering of the Duke's armor and the surrounding details, is representative of his ability to capture likeness and express status through the medium of engraving.
