Portrait of Janus Lutma the Elder

Jan Lutma II

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a bust of an older man with wavy hair and a beard. The man is looking to the right; his facial expression is serious. He has a receding hairline and thick eyebrows. His hair curls around his ears and at the nape of his neck. The bust sits on a stone or marble base with a curved top. Two lines of text are engraved on the base. The top line reads "POSTERITATI" and the bottom line reads "IANUS LUTMA". The background is a dark arch with a lighter area behind the man's head. The image is in a vertical rectangle format. Small text at the bottom reads "OPUS MALLEI" on the left and "PER JANUM. F." on the right.
