Hans Sebald Beham

Alfred von Franck

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man, primarily focusing on his head and shoulders. The man is depicted in a frontal position with his head turned slightly to one side. He has a full, curly beard and mustache, with hair that appears thick and curly, spreading out from under a soft, rounded hat with fabric folds. His facial features include a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and a wise expression. He is wearing a garment with a broad, dark collar that suggests a cloak or robe. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects being held by the man. The background of the image is plain and unadorned, with some text below the portrait that reads "HANS SEBALD BOEHM" followed by "Beham."
