German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a figure standing on a grassy mound in a three-quarter profile view, facing left. The figure has a raised hand and features a mustache, shoulder-length wavy hair, and a green hood. They wear a yellow tunic with red buttons, ruffled cuffs, and red trims. Green leggings, red shoes, a sword at the waist, and a background of an archway with flowers and plants complete the scene.
