National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a person from the waist up. The individual has well-defined facial features, including a narrow face, arched eyebrows, and a gaze directed forward. The person's short hair is styled back, and they wear a garment with intricate patterns and fur trim. A lace ruff encircles their neck, and they wear a medallion or pendant. The engraving is enclosed in a circular frame with decorative details and text identifying the person as a high-ranking noble. Small images of books or plaques with text flank the frame. The background features a detailed design, and the outer section includes verses of text.
