Ferdinand I of Brunswick

Andreas Paul Multz

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a three-quarter-length portrait. His right hand rests on his hip, and his left hand is partially obscured by scrollwork. The man has long, wavy hair, sharp facial features, and an intense gaze. He wears elaborate armor with a breastplate, cuffs, a cloak, and a cravat. A helmet with a plume is placed behind him. The background includes a column and a cloudy sky. Below the man, there is decorative scrollwork with text and a coat of arms.
