Emanuel Frockas, Count of Feria, was a general in Spanish service. He is seen here in portrait from the waist up, slightly angled towards the right, looking away from the viewer. He wears armor and holds a baton in his left hand. He stands infront of a curtain and cloudy sky. This is from the Gillis Hendricx edition of the Iconography (Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis Numero Centum), published in 1645.
Scene of nude women dancing with high society men. A prince or king dances in the middle with two of the women.
Multiple figures gather around to watch two women play on a seesaw. The central figure looks to a group of women sitting in the grass as she points to the woman on the seesaw that is suspended in the air.
Etching with aquatint, printed in color, with man and woman seated at a table playing backgammon.
