George Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham

Balthasar Moncornet (publisher)

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man. He is depicted in a classic noble profile with his shoulders turned slightly to one side and his head facing the viewer. The man has a beard, a mustache, and medium-length wavy hair that falls around his shoulders. He wears an elaborate garment with rich decorations, including intricate patterns and a high lace collar. Two cherubs or putti are shown on either side of the oval frame surrounding the portrait, each holding an end of the ribbon that lists titles around the oval. The background features ornate scrollwork and decorative elements.
