Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image features an engraved portrait showing the upper body of a man in a central ornate circular frame. The man is depicted facing forward with a slight turn of his head to the left, displaying a distinguished expression. He has a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, short styled hair, and wears a detailed garment with a high collar, intricate patterns, fur trim, and a regal appearance. Two cherubs with wings hold the circular frame, topped with a laurel wreath. Below the portrait, there is an oval inset of an illustrative scene with two figures in a landscape, surrounded by decorative scrollwork. Underneath, there is a block of text in two columns resembling an inscription, set against a backdrop of engraved lines.
