Portrait of Maltese Knight Antonio Martelli; c. 1608
Portrait of Maltese Knight Antonio Martelli; c. 1608
This portrait had been thought, until recently, to be another depiction of Alof de Wignacourt. However, it is now believed to be another knight of Malta. I cannot find much information on this individual.
That said, there is a nice, working-man's rapier hilt shown. I especially like that one can glean a little of the proportions of the hilt compared to the subject's hand.
