National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust-length portrait of a man in an oval frame. He is facing forward, with his head slightly turned to his left. The man has a beard and mustache, short, wavy hair, and a serious expression, looking outward. He is dressed in elaborate armor with a large collar around his neck and a sash across his torso. Two cherubic figures holding laurel wreaths are positioned at the upper corners of the frame. Below the portrait is another oval with a scene depicting two female figures, a spear, and a cityscape. The background features scrollwork and Latin text.
