King Ferdinand I

Barthel Beham

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person with short, wavy hair and prominent facial features, wearing an ornate hat and garment. The person faces slightly to the right in a side profile position. A chain around the neck suggests the presence of a medallion or pendant. The background has a textured, lined pattern, and there is an inscription in Latin at the bottom of the image.
