Conrad Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man standing with his torso slightly turned and his legs apart. His face is forward with a composed expression, and he has prominent facial features including a high forehead. He wears a hat with a feather, and his hair is not distinctly visible. The man is dressed in elaborate clothing featuring an ornately patterned coat with a large collar, a detailed doublet, and hose. He is holding a small bunch of plants in one hand and wears a necklace. Beside him is a lion, lying down with its head up. The background includes a tiled floor, a coat of arms in the upper right corner, and text surrounding the figure, with a decorative border enclosing the entire scene.
