Description: Portrait of Maximilian Gandolph von Künburg (1622-1687), a seventeenth century cardinal of the Holy Roman Church.

Two books and the cardinal’s pretiosa, an elaborately embroidered mitre, sit next the portrait. The engraver and designer’s name, B. Block, pinx (pinxit or painted) is written in the bottom left corner.
