Netherlandish 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up, standing in a frontal position. He has wavy, shoulder-length hair and a neutral expression with eyes gazing slightly to the side. The man is dressed in a long, flowing garment with wide sleeves, fastened at the collar with a round brooch or clasp. He wears a belt with pouches around his waist, including a box-like container. In his left hand, he holds a chalice-like cup. The background is plain.
