after Lucas Cranach the Younger

National Gallery of Art

The image presents an upper-body illustration of a man seated in a formal portrait pose. His face has a rounded shape with prominent cheeks, a full mustache, and a short beard, and he looks straight ahead. He wears a large, ornate hat and a cloak with a fur-lined collar. In his hands, he holds a sword diagonally across his torso. The background features a plain light-colored surface with three heraldic shields and a decorative serif font Latin text below the illustration.
