An engraving of Camillo Agrippa (c.1510–?95), Milanese architect, engineer and fencing theorist. A bust portrait, with slight lace collar, toggles fastening the front of his doublet. This print is lettered around the portrait: "CAMILLO. AGRIPPA.". This plate was first published in Agrippa's treatise on fencing, the Trattato di scientia d'arme, con un dialogo di filosofia (Rome 1553). It was later re-engraved with additional shading and republished in the Nuove inventioni di Camillo Agrippa Milanese sopra il modo di navigare (Rome 1595). An epigram by Pietro Maillard (d. 1573) is printed on the verso of this impression.

The print formed part of an album of portrait prints assembled by Cassiano dal Pozzo in Rome. Described in an early nineteenth-century inventory of prints in George III's library as Italian Lawyers, Physicians, &c, the album comprised 204 prints. It was dismantled later in the nineteenth century and its contents sold during the early twentieth century, when only a few of Cassiano's foreign non-royal portrait prints were retained for the collection.
