Ciconia (Paschalis)

Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a man in a seated position, with his hands clasped together in front of him. He has a stern expression, a full beard, a mustache, and a sharp nose. He is wearing an ornate hat and a richly decorated cloak. The background features Latin text, a cherubic figure holding a book, and additional text below the portrait. The focus is on the detailed rendering of the subject and surrounding elements.
