Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man outdoors in historical noble attire, including a wide-brimmed hat with feathers, a ruffled collar, a patterned doublet with puffed sleeves, and short trousers. He is standing with a turned posture, holding a staff with tassels. A sword hangs from his waist. In the background, there is a military scene with soldiers, hills, and a cloudy sky.
