Portrait of a Man in Armor

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white portrait of a man in armor. The man has dark hair combed back and a mustache. He wears a large, fluffy collar around his neck, a dark long-sleeved top with metal studs, a patterned short skirt, and a wide belt. A pendant hangs from a strap over his chest. The man holds a sword in his right hand, and his left hand is gloved. A helmet and feather plume rest on a table behind him to the left. He stands on a tiled floor with a curtain behind him. The curtain is pulled back on the right.
