Marc Antonio de Dominis

after Michiel van Miereveld

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man facing slightly to the right. He is dressed in clerical attire and wears a biretta. His face has distinct features with a strong, angular shape, prominent eyebrows, and a well-groomed full beard and mustache. The man's hair is short and peeks from beneath his cap. He is wearing a high-collared garment, likely a clerical robe, buttoned up the front. The engraving border around him is detailed and includes text, such as his name, Marcus Antonius de Dominis. The background is engraved, creating contrast with the portrait subject. The style suggests a historic or classical portrait, with fine lines and shading typical of old engravings.
