National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait of a man's upper body. He is seated facing forward, with his head slightly turned to the left. The man has a slender face with a high forehead and defined cheekbones, along with a pointy beard and mustache that are mostly gray. His wavy hair matches his facial hair, extending to his collar. He is wearing an ecclesiastical outfit with a buttoned vest under a robe and a white clerical collar. He also wears a cap typical of clerical attire. The portrait is set within an oval frame with a crest at the base featuring a tree emblem. The background inside the oval is textured, while the outer area contains Latin inscriptions encircling the frame.
