Petrus Collins

Cornelis Galle I

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a man from the chest up, slightly angled to his right but facing forward. He has an elongated face, a full beard, a mustache, wavy hair parted to the side, and is wearing a dark garment with a large lace collar. His left hand is raised to chest level, holding a painting tool. He stands in front of an ornate oval frame with baroque details, including cherubic figures. The background features cross-hatched shading typical of engravings.
