National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the upper half of his body. He is seated and holds a large sword across his chest. The man has a bushy beard and mustache, with a stern face. He wears a fur-trimmed hat and his attire is elaborately designed with patterns and fur on his shoulders, matching his hat. There are multiple coats of arms surrounding him and an ornate border with heraldic symbols in the background. Latin text is included below the image.
