National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man walking to the right, shown in profile. He is holding a shield-like object in front of him with his left arm raised. The man has a pointed mustache, a small goatee, and long hair flowing down past his shoulders. He wears a long coat over a tunic and trousers with ribbon embellishments at the knees, as well as shoes with decorative rosettes. The background features rolling hills, trees, and structures implying a town or village. Various figures are engaged in activities like walking and riding a horse-drawn carriage, adding depth to the scene.
