Pieter de Jode the Elder

Lucas Emil Vorsterman after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an upper-body portrait of a man who is slightly turned to his right, facing the viewer. He has a well-groomed beard and mustache, sharp eyes, and neatly styled hair. He wears a voluminous, pleated ruff collar framing his face and a textured garment, possibly a robe or cape. His left hand is resting on his chest. There are no visible jewelry or accessories. The background features a cross-hatched texture typical of engraved portraits.
