Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man's upper body, including his hands, shown in a slight three-quarter angle with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has neat facial hair, curly styled hair, and is dressed in high-status attire of an earlier era, featuring a high lace collar and a richly decorated coat. He is holding an object, possibly a flower or a jewel, in his hand. The illustration is set within an oval frame against a plain background and is created in an engraving style.
