Portrait of Ferdinando Cardinal Infante of Spain (1599 - 1641), Archbishop of Toledo and Governor of the Spanish Netherlands

Crayer, Gaspar de (1584-1669)

The sitter is well known because in 1634 he made a triumphal entry into Antwerp and for the occasion Rubens designed a triumphal arch.  Many of the sketches for this survive including one in the Schorr collection. The picture here attributed to De Crayer is based on a work by Van Dyck.
