Portrait of a Man and His Son

Peter Isselburg

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures: an adult male and a young boy. The adult male has short, dark hair and a full beard, with a pronounced nose and slightly furrowed brow. He wears a richly patterned garment with a large ruff collar and his hand rests on a table. The young boy stands next to the man, also wearing an ornate outfit with a detailed ruff collar. The boy holds a stick or rod. In the background is a dark, textured wall with a family crest or coat of arms displayed in the top right corner, along with scales, a book, and other objects on the table.
