Joannes Adams

Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a man from the mid-chest upwards. He is positioned facing slightly to the right, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has curly, short hair and a neatly shaped beard and mustache. He is wearing detailed clothing, featuring a high-collared shirt with lace and a jacket with decorated epaulettes. He is not visibly wearing any jewelry or holding any objects. The background consists of engraved lines, adding depth to the portrait, and the entire composition is encased within an oval with a Latin inscription encircling it.
