Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man facing slightly to the right with his head turned towards the viewer. He has a neatly trimmed beard, mustache, and waves in his hair styled away from his forehead. The man has a calm expression, wearing ornate historical noble attire with a high, lace-trimmed collar and a patterned garment with visible buttons. The border around the portrait is decorated with text and intricate designs, including two coats of arms on the sides. The background is a textured surface.
