Peter de Carcavy

Gerard Edelinck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man's body in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to his left. He has a mature face with prominent cheekbones and deep-set eyes. His hair is curly and shoulder-length. He wears a formal garment with a wide white collar and a dark robe with a subtle pattern. The portrait is in an oval frame with inscriptions around it, possibly in Latin. Below the oval, there is a decorative crest with a shield including a lamb and star symbols, along with other ornamental elements. The background consists of finely engraved lines.
