Black and white drawing of a man with a long beard wearing a feathered helmet and chainmail with a spear. The man is sitting and depicted from the waist up. He is wearing a hat with a curved brim and two large feathers. The feathers stand up and curl over at the ends. The man has a long beard. His right hand is clenched into a fist and rests on his knee. The man wears a shirt made of metal rings and a collar. He holds a spear with a triangular point in his left hand. The spear has a long thin handle with a knob at the top. The background is textured like paper and uneven around the edges. The drawing style suggests it is from the 16th century. The man appears to be Ahab. The image appears to be by Georg Pencz. The image depicts "Tyrants of the Old Testament: Ahab".
