The 1644 painting from which this engraving is made (Madrid, Prado), is traditionally supposed to depict Diego de Acedo, a jester in the service of the king from 1635-60. Rare engraving by Francisco Muntaner (1743-1805), printmaker trained in Madrid who also produced illustrations for a 1780 edition of 'Don Quixote'.
