Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a person from the waist up, centered within an oval frame. The individual is slightly angled towards the left and facing the viewer. Their facial features include a high forehead and a slightly pointed nose, with wavy hair combed back. They wear a richly decorated garment with intricate patterns and embroidery, typical of the period style, paired with a large lace ruff around their neck. They wear a medallion on a chain around their neck. The background features a simple textured shading and an inscription along the edge of the oval frame.
