Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving featuring three people captured in an oval frame. All three individuals are depicted from the chest up. They are positioned closely together within the frame; the two adults are on either side, with the younger person centered slightly in front. The adult on the left has a round face adorned with a frilled, wide-brimmed hat and an elaborate updo hairstyle. Their clothing is richly detailed, featuring lace and decorative patterns. The adult on the right wears a hat with a feather and has facial hair, including a neatly groomed mustache and beard. His attire also includes a high lace collar and detailed designs. The younger individual in the center has short hair and a softer expression, wearing attire that features a similar lace collar. Jewelry is worn in the form of earrings by the adult on the left. The background is a plain, light-hued expanse that highlights the detailed linework of the subjects within the oval frame.
