Johan silfverstierna (1604-1660). The copper stamp belongs to the falkland portrait series of prominent swedish men; however, it is not one of the better pictures, but the original is not signed beck, but h. Munnichhoven. Another engraved portrait of the silfverstierna can be found in kongl. Bibl's collection; it is made by an anonymous artist and has no inscription. Other copies of the same picture have the following signature: "johann silberstierna. Secret, des königs gust. A. D. V. Sweden“. Date: circa 1640. Medium: engraving.
