Head of an Apostle with Beard and Cap

Aegidius Sadeler II

National Gallery of Art

The image displays the upper body of an elderly man in profile facing left, with a downward gaze. He has deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, a wrinkled forehead, a long, pointed beard, and wears a fabric headpiece tied under his chin. The man is dressed in a long-sleeved garment with a high neckline that seems to be buttoned down the front. The background is a textured, lined surface without any distinct objects.
