ARCHIDVX AVSTRIAE DUX BURGUNDIAE COMES TIROLIS, ET BELGICARU PROVINCIARU GUBERN. It is not clear from which publication this portrait is taken from. On the verso of both pages is text in Latin referring to the Duke of Alba and Ernst of Austria. The dates and the text at the top of the pages suggest that the portrait was probably taken from an edition of the Belgian Lion by Michael von Aitzing.
