Jonas Suyderhoff after Jan de Vos

National Gallery of Art

The image is an upper-body portrait of a man. He is positioned slightly to the side with his head turned towards the viewer. His face is aged, with prominent cheekbones, a pointed nose, and deep-set eyes under arched eyebrows. He has short, light, neatly combed hair and a full, pointed light-colored beard and mustache. He is wearing a dark cap. The man is dressed in a garment with a large, white, pleated ruff collar that contrasts against his darker cloak with fur trimming. He is framed within an oval shape with Latin text along the border. The background is detailed lined etching, creating a textured appearance.
